About this book
Cooking, sleeping and steering aboard the Rob Roy make John MacGregor's summer cruise an account of life in a boat as well as travel. His solo route takes him from London to Paris and across the Channel towards the Isle of Wight. In the opening, earlier canoe trips prompt him to plan a sailing craft that can serve as a home, with safety and comfort placed ahead of speed.
The details of preparation give the narrative its particular interest: a cabin arranged for cooking and reading, a small boat carried aboard, and fittings chosen with rough weather in mind. A later Channel passage follows a lull in the wind, crossing tides and distant ship lights as MacGregor searches the darkness for a coastal beacon.
