No More Mondays: A Nautical Odyssey

One day, Lavonne Misner puts in for a leave of absence from her position at the University of Minnesota, and along with her husband Tom, sets out one morning from their homeport of Duluth in a 50-foot cruiser to explore the world by water. From the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Coast, the Intracoastal Waterway down to the Florida Keys, the Caribbean to the Venezuelan Coast, and from the Panama Canal straight on through to the warm, pristine waters off New Zealand, Misner takes the reader on a nautical odyssey, an autobiographical sea adventure that few people, sailing enthusiasts and non-sailors alike, will ever have the opportunity of experiencing firsthand themselves. From the restaurants, cafes, and narrow, cobblestone streets of idyllic French-Canadian towns to the white, sandy beaches in the sun-drenched tropics, Misner offers the reader a no-holds-barred travelogue of exploration, offering her views along the way of her experiences, and of the rich, yet disparate cultures of the places she visits. This book takes the reader around the world and back without ever having to leave the comfort of a favorite armchair, or comfortable divot in the sofa!Misner, LaVonne is the author of 'No More Mondays: A Nautical Odyssey', published 2003 under ISBN 9781577852988 and ISBN 1577852982.
