{"product_id":"2940151063807","title":"Newlyweds Afloat: Married Bliss and Mechanical Breakdowns While Living Aboard a Trawler","description":"A funny memoir of falling in love, getting married, and moving aboard a boat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA young woman meets an amazing guy, falls in love, and they move in together. Straightforward enough, right? Except he lives on a boat--a 38-foot trawler, docked in Chicago. Their relationship is intensified by living in a tiny space, and by the never-ending quirks of the boat, who becomes a third party in the marriage. There are electrical failures, pump failures, big waves, and freezing winters . . . not to mention the attack goose. Felicia Schneiderhan has a fine literary sensibility and manages to be both funny and deeply serious in writing about boats and love and relationships. This book will delight any boater, or any land-dweller dreaming of escape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Newlyweds Afloat is a love story between a woman, a man, and his boat. Felicia Schneiderhan recounts with humor and skill the story of her transformation from a Chicago apartment dweller to a newly married river rat on Chicago's waterways. With an eye for the absurd, she reveals the ups and downs, joys and challenges, and day-to-day logistics of living aboard a 38-foot trawler named Mazurka--even in winter. Newlyweds Afloat is full of high-seas drama and flat water reflection plus cats and lots and lots of heart. I could not stop reading it.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Julie Buckles, author of Paddling to Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Newlyweds Afloat is a wife's story of learning to be the other woman, with a man who loves his boat.
