This is the story of the journey undertaken by Bill and Laurel Cooper on their converted Dutch barge, "Hosanna", around the Greek Islands. Needing a replacement engine they hurried back to England to refit, meeting all kinds of difficulties, delights and disasters on the way. This book follows their eventful 2300 mile voyage home via the Ionian Isles, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, through the waterways of France, across the English Channel and up the North Sea to Great Yarmouth. The book gives an insight into the manners, customs and frustrations of those whose paths the Coopers crossed on their troublesome journey home.
