Short Synopsis
With stories ranging from hilarious to heart breaking, Go by Boat is a respite from contemporary living, immersing the listener in the distinct culture of Maine island communities.

Full Synopsis
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 listener 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.

"Tamminen may make listeners forget he's not Radis as he delivers the doctor's memoir. He gives Radis a confident voice that masks his early hesitation with patients."---AudioFile
