Float Street Notes

by Ed Teja

Overview

Boats are funny animals, especially old boats, and the sailors who ply the waters in them are even funnier.

 

This series of columns from a monthly column written for Caribbean Compass takes a humorous look aspects of boats and boating in the West Indies, Spanish Main, and north to The Bahama. It ponders the stranger creatures and stranger activities found in the Caribbean. From examinations of boating basics, like anchoring, to marlinspike seamanship and how to find the best waterfront bar, it is all, when correctly viewed, humorous.

 

Written while living at anchor and underway on an old wooden boat in the Lesser Antilles and Venezuela — at the southern end of the spiral arm of the West Indies. This volume contains over 50 essays and photos.

 

I hope you enjoy them
