Oar & Sail: An Odyssey of the West Coast by Kenneth Macrae Leighton In the logbook of his rowing boat trip up British Columbia’s coast from Vancouver to Prince Rupert, Dr. Ken Leighton recorded the horsepower of his craft as “one old man.” His command of language peppered with his delightfully self-deprecating humor combined with a rare degree of determination at the age of 66 to row and sail a distance of 500 miles in a 14 foot boat resulted in this highly readable 152 page account, complete with maps and illustrations by Roderick Leighton.

"Younger Next Year: A Guide to Living Like 50 Until You're 80 and Beyond by Chris Crowley and Henry S Lodge, M.D. and published by Workman Publishing 2004 This book is written for men in their fifties by two men who are passionate about revitalizing the second half of life. At a time when most men are beginning to have more resources and time to fully engage in all of their favorite things many are instead facing painful conditions and even serious health problems. This is an easygoing, humorous and informative read which I found helpful in supporting and understanding my own 50+ partner and how important it is for us both to keep moving.

"On the Water: Discovering America in a Rowboat" by Nathaniel Stone and published by Broadway Books, New York 2002 "A delightful travel book that is as much an account of the mental and spiritual benefits of finishing what you begin and fulfilling your dreams as it is of the waterways traveled by Nathaniel Stone in his Whitehall. From the beginning of Stone's travels where he measures his distance rowed in city blocks, to the end when he's completely lost track of the miles he's rowed, this book is an eloquent testimony to the people and places met along the way."
