And the Ship Sailed On
</hdr><body>
<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> Taking a cruise was James Michener's idea of nothing, until
fieldwork on his new book changed his mind. Caribbean, a 672
pager that sweeps across the islands like a sea wind, is to be
his last epic because the 82-year-old author doesn't "have the
energy for the endless exploration and heavy research." Off on
another cruise last week, he readied a lecture to fellow
passengers on the islands' best sights. A favorite stop:
Grenada, with its harbor "like a Vermeer painting." Michener
claims to be "the only person confirmed never to have attended
a ship's midnight buffet." He's too sleepy.
