	Description:		Musician, author, artist and one-time boat builder Ben Harrison relates the remarkable story of how he and his wife, Helen, ended up constructing a boat up a mountain in Costa Rica in the 1970s. They then had to get it down the mountain to the sea – at not inconsiderable risk to their marriage and their sanity – and from there they sailed it to Key West. They took their time though – five years in fact – enjoying some of the wonders of the Caribbean before returning to Florida and finding a mooring for $75 per month including power and water. Imagine that! Ben and Helen now run the highly-respected Harrison Gallery in Key West, exhibiting and selling, among other artists' creations, Helen’s sculptures. Ben works mostly as a musician but is also the author of several books, including the acclaimed ‘Sailing Down the Mountain’, which is a terrific read. http://www.harrison-gallery.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Sailing-Down-Mountain-Ben-Harrison-ebook/dp/B00JZ1CUB2
