Books, Boats, & Boondoggles Blog
Books, Boats, and Boondoggles chronicles Sage Webb's adventures living on a Caliber 40 LRC sailboat and traveling in a 32' Class A RV named Traveler. It also features her crewmates the Bosun (her husband) and Boat Dog. Based at a marina just off Galveston Bay, in Texas, the crew journeys around Texas . . . and has been known to go much farther afield as well.
The blog also features book news, reading lists discussing favorite selections on various topics, poetry, and . . . well . . . whatever strikes our fancies related to books or adventure.
