"All the Way on the 'Calvin J'" is the story of an unlikely trip and the family bonds it helped to strengthen. It is the amazing but true story of a boat trip down the Atlantic intracoastal waterway from Norfolk, Virginia to Daytona Beach, Florida in 1986. The author's father loved boats, and it had always been his dream to take one on a long trip. He lost his crew, his money, an engine - and almost the boat several times - but he never lost his will or his patience. Readers will gain a new appreciation for the old Navy phrase, "Never give up the ship!," and will discover why guardian angels flee when they hear the names Joe Jones and Calvin J!
