The happily married, middle-aged couple had only lived together for eight years yet had been married for twenty. Joe Martin, a captain of sea-going ships, was about to take a shore-side job, 5,000 miles away from his wife, Paula.She would move to join him during her sabbatical year. They’d live together in Alaska, on a 33½ foot boat. Their friends warned them. Colleagues offered alternatives. Her mother tried to talk her out of it. For twenty years, the couple had thrived floating between campuses, ships, and ports, but geography was about to become their destiny. Alaska travels, wildlife, boat maintenance, conflict avoidance, and dreams of a dog meshed during their year together. Would their romance survive the experience? Would their marriage? And would the boat? A memoir of a marriage facing life together, on a boat, in Alaska.
