Anyone who enjoys action and adventure will find pleasure in this account of a days journey with the all female crew on a long boat called the Ladys Slipper. In it you follow the crew through the hours of smooth sailing to the strenuous work of saving their bateau from sinking in the fast moving waters of the James River in Virginia. Emotions waiver from doubt and anxiety to relief and gratitude. It is the journey that is significant for those who travel with the Slipper, not the destination.
