Bill Moeller and his wife, the late Jan Moeller, were cruising sailors and liveaboards for more than 20 years before moving aboard a "land yacht"--an RV--where they found a very similar lifestyle on America’s highways. Bill and Jan Moeller were cruising sailors and liveaboards for more than 20 years before moving aboard a “land yacht”—an RV—where they found a very similar lifestyle on America’s highways. The fourth of their liveaboard sailboats was a 32-foot cutter in which they traversed the ICW more than a dozen times. Their frustration with existing guidebooks led them to develop this book—the only one designed to be used at a steering station on the ICW in conjunction with a chart. Every few years the Moellers return to the ICW to update their guide. At other times they roam America in their RV, favoring the West, writing and photographing books about American landscapes and history. HOMETOWN: Omaha, Nebraska
