About This Book

A group of young boaters voyage across the Great Lakes in a small flotilla, exploring islands and shorelines while learning seamanship and practical skills. Their trips expose them to storms, engine troubles, rapids, and moments of being marooned, all of which demand quick thinking, cooperation, and courage. Episodes feature taking shelter from squalls, using wireless communication to summon help, aiding and being aided by others, and tense night watches that build resilience. The narrative blends lively descriptions of lake scenery with incidents of rescue, rivalries resolved by teamwork, and a final return home after a season of trials and discoveries.
