The Day Tripper: A Memior

In 1968, the author and two nineteen-year-old friends bought a 35-foot cabin cruiser for $50. Enjoy the humor and experiences as the young men restore the old boat. Get a glimpse of life in a marina. You'll feel welcome aboard the Day Tripper, where blue skies and stormy weather reflect the sometimes difficult, sometimes pleasant journey of these young men. Sunken boats, Thai sticks, and blown engines add to the excitement. Len Berman uses vivid detail to describe their adventures. It's easy to imagine some of the many colorful characters who crossed their paths, including strangers who randomly helped them when they broke down, and others, who intimidated them. This is more than a story about a cabin cruiser; it is the story of growing up, learning about life, and feeling proud of an accomplishment that was not easy to do. It is about friendship and relationships that make this a good story-one that you will not easily forget. So sit down, crack open a beer and relax with this easy and enjoyable read.
