Summary "The Adventure Club Afloat" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book revolves around a group of young boys from Dexter Academy who long for excitement and adventure during their summer break. The main characters, Perry Bush, Steve Chapman, and Joe Ingersoll, seek to escape their mundane lives by forming the Adventure Club and embarking on a sailing trip filled with aspirations of thrilling experiences. The opening of the novel introduces the characters during a summer evening as they bemoan the dullness of their impending vacation. They engage in a lively discussion about their desires for adventure, leading to Perry's idea of breaking free from their ordinary lives. As they brainstorm possibilities, Steve proposes the idea of using his father's cruiser for an adventurous voyage on the water. The excitement in the air grows as they plan their expedition, title their group the Adventure Club, and begin rallying support from their friends to join them in their quest for a summer filled with daring experiences.
