I really enjoyed Blown Away by Herb Payson and the sequel.

It's about a family that threw off their land lifestyle and went to sea cruising.

Herb and crew have a great sense of humour and I laughed out loud in many places - particularly the account of how Herb gave in to his wife and bought a Propane stove after wrestling unsuccessfully with kerosene.

It is funny, not harrowing. If my memory serves (it's been a long time since I read it), it was never a tale of suffering like many of the genre. Just good clean fun.

Tough to beat as a light-hearted read.

Hope that helps.
