There is no boat on the cover but the book is about Roosevelt and party going down the river and a few times I bet they wish they had the Coast Guard there to save them.

I'm going to try this as I just noticed the book I'm reading at the moment has a boat on! ✔1. Warren is a technical illustrator for the Coast Guard. Read a book with a ship / boat on the cover - Post the cover image
If you look carefully at the bottom there is a boat.

Yep and same as Warren, every single night, even if it's really late.

Hornet Flight by Ken Follett. Brilliant book set in WWII which has been sitting on my shelf for ages!
✔4. Warren says he hated reading as a child, but now reads 50+ books per year. Have your reading habits changed over the years?
