Title: The log of the Molly B
Description: Pete Hogan's dream is to sail away into the sunset. It does not really work out like that, but he does build his boat, the Molly B, a Tahiti Ketch, and sails it engineless and on a shoestring down the coast of California, through the Panama Canal, and across the Atlantic to Ireland, with numerous adventures along the way. Ten years later while sailing around the world the boat sinks in the Mediterranean in a storm and Pete is lucky to survive. In short, this is the story of one boat, the 30 foot long Molly B, from building to shipwreck, and the man who lived to tell the tale. Lavishly illustrated by the author, a professional artist.
