Love and Pirates

Hardy Hanlon's big dream is to sail a boat on the high seas. Freshly graduated from college, he gets his wish... sort of.
He accidentally stows away on a yacht being transported across America on the back of a truck bed. It's a pirate's life for Hardy as he views the country through portholes on the way to San Diego. Ditching his college days, dead-end jobs, and even Ivy Palmer, the girl who has a crush on him, he is off on the travel adventure of a lifetime.
Hardy soon discovers he hasn't left everything-or everyone-behind. He also learns that life on today's highways in the divisive and complex place America has become is far from easy sailing.
