Fisher finishes overhauling the old 41-foot sailboat she inherited from her father and is preparing to welcome her crew, Veronica and Bonnie. But is the welcome party to be a Girls' Night, or will Fisher allow that hunky boatyard worker Case to join the celebrations? And what is hidden in the bilge?

Boat Girl is the heartbreaking memoir of growing up aboard a sailboat. Throughout the 1980's and 90's, Melanie's family lived aboard a 47-foot sailboat, spending their summers along the US East Coast and their winters in the Bahamas. But the cruising life was not all fun in the sun. The family had to work hard to pay for their way of life. They dodged hurricanes, overzealous federal agents and bullying land-kids. And they endured a boatload of family drama.
