Synopsis
By English narrowboat through an America nobody knows . . .
Having survived their voyage to Carcassonne, pensioners Terry and Monica Darlington could easily have retreated to a corner in the nearest public house with their whippet Jim. Instead, they set their sights on the prodigious Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. No one has ever sailed an English narrowboat in the US before. The reasons for this become clear during the nine-month voyage of the Phyllis May, which includes a 30-mile sea crossing, blasting heat, tornadoes, hurricanes, starving alligators and insects from hell. On the Phyllis May, a thousand miles of South-East Seaboard unfold at six miles an hour - the golden marshes of the Carolinas and the lost arcadias of Georgia and Florida.

As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
