Produktbeschreibung
Thoses suffering the merest hint of desire to fo seafaring in their own boat will learn from these heart-breaking examples just what can go wrong. Read the secrets of successfuly leaving a berth with topsides unmarked , happening miraculously upon your chosen destination, and them, for the piece de resistannce, dropping anchor with aplomb. The inevitable binocular watchers will murmer appreciatively and even your crew will be impressed. Perfect.

For the cogniscenti, those who know all, this fine book can be used as a chock for a deck-stepped mast, a wedge for proping open a broken hatch, to slapping a wayward crew member into shape. So buy it anyway. The mess some fools get into will give you a good laugh while leaving you, dare we say it, a trifle smug.

This book is best enjoyed with a pinch of salt, four parts gin, one part dry vermouth. Shaken. Not stirred.

Any profits from the sale of this book, claims the author, will go directly towards the purchase of his next boat.

Autorenporträt
Paul has been boating all his life. He has sailed the South Coast of England, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. He has completed a circumnavigation of Australia. This took him sixty years. He did it in stages and on boats ranging from sailing yachts, and motor cruisers to Cunard Queens. So, you can trust his navigational skills. He knows that to round this continent, you just need to keep Australia on the left. In all this bumbling, Paul has gained considerable experience. He claims at some time or other, he has made most mistakes. Sometimes twice. This has the benefit or recalling the circumstance and knowing that it does not end well. With a sense of humour as twisted as a spinnaker around a forestay, Paul explains cruising pitfalls and what not to do in a crisis. He loves recounting the true stories of sailors, although the use of true and sailors can be an oxymoron.
