The Voyage Of Drift Away

This book is a sequel to The Voyage of Drift Away: Stamford to Annapolis and The Voyage of Drift Away: Annapolis to Savannah. The first book detailed getting Drift Away in running order, and stories like the terror of losing both engines off Sandy Hook, as well as other amusing tales. The second book is a combination of how-I-did-it and cruising guide. This book is truly more like a live-aboard cruising guide, but rather than detailing the trip and the marinas we stayed at as other guides do, I will tell you about some of the people we met and the fun we had.

This book is the sequel to The Voyage of Drift Away: Stamford to Annapolis. The first book detailed getting Drift Away in running order, the terror of losing both engines off Sandy Hook, and other amusing stories. This book is truly more like a cruising guide, but rather than detail the trip and the marinas we stayed at as other guides do, I will tell you about some of the people we met and the fun we had. Most of the folks were other live aboards, but not all. Some were passing through, and others were locals. A friend once described cruisers as a small town that moved up and down the coast. live aboards tend to stay in one place for a long time before moving on, if they move on at all. That is the fun of the live aboard lifestyle. If you like a place, stay. If you don't, move on and explore the next place. This book has a goodly number of photographs. I love photography and I hope you do too. If not, perhaps you will after reading this book. Sit back and enjoy the trip!

This is not a cruising guide. It is not a travelogue. Nor is it a how-to-fix-an-old-boat book. This is a live aboard lifestyle book. It describes what it is truly like to live on an old boat, warts and all. Our adventures were made more enjoyable, and sometimes more hilarious, by the addition of cats and large dogs. You just can't make this stuff up. Our book hides nothing. It will tell you of the highs and lows, the good times and the bad, the joy and the terror, and the wonder and the boredom of living aboard. It will describe the many boat projects undertaken to make Drift Away seaworthy once again. It will relate the costs involved, and the pitfalls we experienced. If we could do it, so can you.

The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values.

A world classic. The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions.

The Golden Bough is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by the Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer. The book documents and details the similarities among magical and religious beliefs around the globe. Frazer attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture. His thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship and periodic sacrifice of a sacred king. Frazer proposed that mankind progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought. The influence of The Golden Bough on contemporary European literature and thought is substantial.
