Great Sailing Adventure Laced With History And Humor!

I gather the author wrote of his sailing adventures with the help of his significant other, Sandra Burns. They did what most of us only dream about -- left the security of job and home bound for foreign ports aboard a 40' sailboat. They sailed for several years. This book is a wonderful expose' of their sailing adventures in Mexican waters aboard "Abrazo II", an Acapulco 40 Cutter. "Boulevard" is without a doubt the best adventure book ever written about Mexico. It is a tribute to the authors' inimitable flair, as well as to the culture they experienced during their voyage. This book should be on the shelf of every sailor plying Mexican waters, and those dreaming about it
