We Merrily Put to Sea

The only bright spots in the lives of the three Scott children after their father went to Europe and left them in the care of an elderly couple who neither understood nor particularly liked children were the all-too-rare visits of their grandfather. Therefore the chance to sail down the Atlantic coast with him came as a welcome surprise and they determined to let nothing stop them. Nor did they, even when their grandfather became ill and was forced to temporarily abandon the ship.
The adventures of the three children are plausible and just the sort many readers dream of having. A good adventure story and some interesting information about coastal sailing.
