Review by Booklist Review
Reading a love story is always a treat, especially one that begins with shy overtures that lead to passion, commitment, then comfort, but the love Froncek writes about is not that of a man for another human being, but rather a man's love for sailing. Froncek first sailed in a college phys-ed class but didn't seriously pursue it until well into adulthood. Information about a sailing class came by chance; he enrolled on a whim and from then on was captured by a passion that led to owning his own boat. His sailing venue is New York's Hudson River--beautiful, changeable, even treacherous; yet this is no Perfect Storm, but rather an Everyman's account of the joy and excitement that comes from learning to sail single-handedly. He has had scary moments, especially when his skills were not the best, but overall, sailing has provided him with all he hoped for and more. Froncek's self-effacing and pleasant tone makes this a fine weekend read for all who sail or want to. --Danise Hoover Copyright 2004 Booklist
