Description
The Lilibet Logs tells the story of a two-year restoration project on a classic wooden sailing boat. It talks about the history of the boat, the owner's history with boats, the purchase of the boat, the process of restoration, and the experience of learning to sail the boat. With the writer's unique observations about the process, and the people and the places involved. Starting with a brief background check on Jack's boating experience, then continuing with the process of choosing and buying the boat, then moving it across the country, finding a suitable workspace, and then on to the restoration work itself. This story of learning while doing culminates in the reality that Jack has never truthfully sailed before. Launching Lilibet and learning to handle her on lake Minnetonka, where she is the largest and oldest sailboat, closes the circle on the story of The Lilibet Logs. 192pp Illustrated PB.
