The Boatwright By Bo Wilson.

Fifty-seven years old, recently widowed, childless and retired, Ben is adrift—and even though he's never seen the ocean, he decides he should build a boat and sail across the Atlantic, single-handedly. When Ben decides to let his troubled film-student neighbor, Jaime, make a movie about his boat-building project, the two men—generations apart and lonely in very different ways—force each other to confront the isolation in their own lives.

If you're Connie, Leona and Millie, you do the most daring thing you've ever done. You "borrow" the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you're truly living.
