Go By Boat

Fresh out of training Dr. Chuck Radis moves with his wife and daughter to Peaks Island Maine to fulfill a Public Health scholarship obligation. Absent-minded and initially oblivious to island mores Dr. Radis slowly adapts to a medical practice where x-rays and advanced laboratory testing are available only on the mainland. When he travels to the outer islands of Casco Bay for house calls he relies on his physical examination skills and a tackle box of emergency medications to successfully manage his patients. With stories ranging from hilarious to heart breaking Go by Boat is a respite from contemporary living immersing the reader in the distinct culture of Maine island communities. Come along with Dr. Radis as he finds acceptance and friendship on the hardscrabble islands of Casco Bay.
