 Water in Between: A Journey At Sea by Kevin PattersonA stint in the army and a broken heart lead Kevin Patterson to the dock of a sailboat brokerage on Vancouver Island, where he stands contemplating the romance of the sea and his heartfelt desire to get away. By the end of the day, he finds himself the neophyte owner of a sailboat called the Sea Mouse. He also has a plan: to sail to Tahiti and back, and burn away his failings in hard miles at sea. "...a quietly enthralling account that belongs on the shelf with Paul Theroux's "Happy Islands of Oceana", Jonthan Raban's sailings, and, for that matter, with the work of landlubber Bruce Chatwin. Given that this is Patterson's first book, and that he is by training a doctor, that's not bad at all. " --Christopher Buckley's review in the New York Times Book Review Paperback 304 pages - 5" x 8" - (5/00)
