Shots fired! Boater down!

Interesting that this (River Horse) should show up. I just recently acquired a copy. It is on the shelf, trying to find the time and motivation for taking on that project. I think I have met more non C-Dory owners who have mentioned or read it than owners.

Well, if anyone is interested in what River Horse is about, it's for sale, used, on Amazon Books for $4 which includes shipping. Same for the other books by William Least Heat-Moon, which Bob mentioned above.

Cheaper than the gas to get to the library. Though at the library you get more than one book for the price. Good way to spend a couple of evenings this winter.

On the topic of reading, though not in a C-Dory but very much about our waterways and cruising grounds is "1812, Rediscovering Chesapeake Bay's Forgotten War" by David Healey. I know it sounds really dry, but, it is surprising. It is less about the history and more about a trip around the bay visiting the places where the war took place. It is funny and light while still educational and it gives some neat ideas for summer cruising grounds.

I must say I am agreeing with most of the comments on River Horse. I was worried it was just me, but apparently its dryness is a universal perception and his attitude...well most of you have already said it. I will struggle on a bit more.
