About

Robb White knows everything there is to know about getting on the water and staying there as long as you possibly can. While still a young boy, he built his first boat, hewn from the tin roof of an abandoned chicken coop. In How to Build a Tin Canoe, this Southern raconteur and self-taught, expert wooden-boat builder offers a wryly humorous journey through a life lived on the water and the lessons learned along the way.

Reviews

"White's character comes through in his voice as he describes a way of life unknown to most of us. Though he's cantankerous, White's real subject is joy; it would be a shame to miss him telling of it."

"Overflows with down-home charm…Endlessly enjoyable, especially for those who like to mess about in boats."
Booklist
"White does his own narrating and he is superb with his mellow voice, Southern-flavored speech, timing, storytelling way, and good humor…Absolutely delightful."
