This book provides a nice balance of memoir and factual information about the Great Lakes. The author recounts his experience in a Chicago to Mackinac sailing race and sailing through the Great Lakes from Traverse City to the coast of Maine on a tall ship.

The book primarily recounts the voyage of the schooner Malabar from Traverse City to Long Island Sound via the Erie Canal and the Hudson. The author served on the crew along with Hajo, the captain, and Matt, the first mate, and a couple others. He also brings in the Chicago to Mackinac yacht race and a side trip to Lake Superior,
