Sailing the Big Flush by Eileen Beaver

Subtitle: It's a Crack Up -- The title in and of itself makes you curious.  She and her husband, Doug, take a sailing trip up into Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy.  The Bay of Fundy has some of the worlds largest tides-- up to 50 feet!!  For those of you that are not familiar, the height of the water changes up to 50 feet every six hours. When the water goes out there are places where there is NO WATER!!  Eileen gives a very good account of their trip. At times it reads like an adventure that Terry and I would take.  There are many things that she learns along the way. It was very challenging learning how to read the water and figure out how to set the boat up so it would not tip over when the tide went out.  Along the way they meet many colorful characters and explore some wonderful small towns.  It reminds you that people can be very friendly, outgoing and helpful.  It was a little tedious at times, with her trying to "find her center", but very enjoyable and funny.  I, of course, could easily put myself in her situation and would love to experience this amazing body of water, I just don't know if I am up for the stress of it all!!
