Browsing at Barnes & Noble last night, I came across a book that seemed very interesting: a disillusioned, young fellow working in Capitol Hill pursues his childhood dream of building a boat out of corks and sailing it. See the pictures and read a little about the book at www.corkboat.com .

Seems like an interesting read - I think I'll pick up a copy from Amazon.

Now there is someone with too much time on his hands. Counted up my corks just the other day.... Guess I only have 164948 corks to go! Wink

I was thinking of building a boat dock out of mine, but now I've got something else to think about!

I picked up and read this book yesterday.
A great story-

Also purchased ' Wine and War '- about the French hiding their wines creatively from the Nazis during WWII.

I ordered this off the internet last week. Looking forward to reading a good adventure story.

Life without wine?...... Yeah Right.<br /><br />I believe we have 2 lives; the life we learn with and the life we live with after that.
