Product Description
Rex Hauler is hired as a crewman on a sailing yacht off the coast of New England. He has run from city life to recharge his mind with exciting and colorful visions. He is a schoolteacher who has traveled the world in particularly by sea. He loves his wife whom he refers to throughout the story. On the yacht Rex has to deal with being accepted, fatiguing work, and Lori, the first mate, who has designs on him. With the exception of Cindy, the cook, thirteen people interrelate and function cohesively on a ninety-foot schooner. They communicate and cooperate well. Red Honeycutt, the captain, Lori, and Dave demonstrate their talents in classical and popular music. Conflicts affect Cindy, the cook, who is not fully prepared for adventure at sea. Seasickness adds to her crisis. Rex lives through night watches, which are adventures. These and the contemplations include non-fiction, autobiography, philosophy, and essay.

If there were to be any change in Rex, he implies he'll try to be less individualistic by catching the ball when his principal throws a job at him. He'll also try to live healthier by reducing alcohol consumption. His negative ways exist because of his excessive need for free expression, exploration, exposition, and introspection. What an excuse! He searches for
