Set in the early 1900s, this story depicts the lives of Gus and Zoe as they brave the sometimes dangerous waters of the San Juan Archipelago, located in the State of Washington. These two young salty-tars authentically find themselves in capturing the essence of the Archipelago's wilderness. Written in the trache de vie style, it presents slice of life stories without the need of a plot, conflict, or outcome. Instead, the author presents life's stories and sentiments in free social realism, without moral judgement, and with fidelity. This book is Gus's memoir of an adolescent summer in the arcadian San Juan Archipelago of Puget Sound, a northwestern version of the Greek Aegean set in the primordial 1930s.
