Join a true Minnesota kid who loves adventure and the outdoor life. In The Bahamas, Here I Come, Book 13 in the series, Dan travels far from home. Sailing with his dad and his sailing buddies, Dan meets fascinating people, endures harsh weather conditions, and rough seas. This story is Dan's account onboard a newly commissioned Tartan 43-foot sloop-rigged sailboat named Czech Mate. Although he was a novice sailor, the experience gave him a lifetime of memories and allowed him to learn incredible lessons. As you will see, some of those lessons can only be experienced by a sailor. So get ready, come along and enjoy the ride-or rather, the sail. Our sails are set, the weather is with us, and it's time to head for the open seas. Like sailors often say, "Ahoy, mate, tropical islands, here we come!" This book, Number Thirteen, in The 10,000 Adventures of Minnesota Dan series, is dedicated to Ava and Olive Maly of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Alice Walker once wrote "Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister?" We are blessed to have these two strong, confident and talented young women as granddaughters and Dan's nieces. As they journey through life, their sister bond will forever remain unbreakable.
