The Voyage of the Maxed Out!

A hair-raising trip that two brothers took down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and around the Gulf of Mexico to Key West, that will have you rolling on the floor laughing. They set out on this voyage aboard a seventeen-foot sailboat during the Great Flood of '93. This book is loaded with stories about all the crazy and unexpected things that happened along the way. These tales are fueled by the fact that neither one of them knew anything about sailing or even boating for that matter. They had no navigational equipment except a compass, an antique sextant that they were planning on learning how to use along the way, and a State Farm Road Atlas. Twisted into this humorous adventure is another story, with a more solemn theme, about their eccentric and creative Uncle Billy, whose dream it was, originally, to go on this sailing adventure. As you will discover, he didn't end up living his dream.
