This was a short, free, ebook from Smashwords: Link HERE.

This was an enjoyable read, describing the author's solo voyage in his trimaran N/A, from Sarasota Bay to Key West, then to Cuba, followed by another crossing to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. In both Cuba and Mexico he also planned to climb the tallest mountain in the country.
He goes into detail with his preparations, the actual voyage and his encounters with various people along his way. He also outlines his motivation, and is accompanied by a few photographs.

It is easy reading, generally well constructed, and contains only a couple of typo's, so is of a higher proofreading quality than many self published books.

3.5 stars, rounded down.
