Along the Edge of America by Peter Jenkins

Jenkins decides to get a small power boat and go along the coast of America along the Florida Keys to the border of Mexico.  He learns a lot about boating and of the many small rural towns along the coast.  He spends extended periods of time living with people and getting to know the area and the ways of the people. He embraces immersing himself in those around him to broaden his outlook. It was an enjoyable read, a bit slow for me.
