"This is a must read for any "narrow dog" owner or boating fan. The author's experience with his whippet "Jim" is heartwarming and laugh out loud fun. His English description of Americans is right on funny. I had to laugh at myself ! This book follows "Narrow Dog to Carcassonne"."
"A memoir about a retired English couple, their whippet (a dog) 'Jim', and their adventures as they travel in their canal boat down the Intercoastal Waterway. Funny. A little hard to get used to the author's tempo, but a charming little book."
"I didn't want this book to end! I love travel memoirs and this is one tracing the exploits of an English couple who sail their narrowboat (a canal boat) down the eastern coast (the Atlantic Intracoastal) along with their dog, a whippet named Jim. America is a "savage land," with its fierce sea and tides and currents that are a menace to the gentle sailing of a narrowboat. The wildlife and insects are a constant wonder and fright, and the people they meet along the way are their own special species. Terry Darlington, the husband of the pair, writes the book with great doses of poetry and humor, some of which had me laughing out loud! Their previous book, Narrow Dog to Carcassone, about sailing their narrowboat through France, is now on my "Must Read" list. I was anxious to go to their website after finishing the book, to see photos, and especially to see dog Jim, who is definitely the third character in the book. It seems they're now working on a third book, about sailing their narrowboat in Scotland in search of the Loch Ness Monster...can't wait for it! www.narrowdog.com"
