INSCRIBED on dedication page: "To ___ in appreciation for being such a great driver - from Harts other half.” 'Navigating a 60-year-old iron barge through the intricate locks and waterways of western Europe is a daunting task, but one that Hart Massey, his wife Melodie, and their Dalmatian Joss take on with great enthusiasm. The couple, themselves over 60 years old, also take on water, and lots of it. From leaking pipes, water tanks, and - most critically - a leaking hull, the adventures mount.' (from front flap)
