Chaplin, a journalist, and his female companion sailed the coast of Central America, following the route taken by a relative, Frederick Catherwood, an obscure artist who accompanied 19th-century explorer John Lloyd Stephens during his discovery of the Mayan ruins. Like most travel reminiscences, this contains a personal story: Chaplin's search for family roots and his desire to fulfill a sailing dream for his father. Chaplin succeeds in providing a sense of the history, politics, and lifestyles of the countries comprising his journey, including Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. He peppers his account with anecdotes, literary quotes and passages, and encounters with various characters.
