Monkeying Around at Sea follows Angela Coe's two-year voyage from
Singapore to Spain in a Ferro cement boat named Sandpiper.
Travelling alongside her husband, Bobby, a monkey called Pixie and
her cat, Bob-tail, Angela embarks on an incredible adventure with
no previous experience of sailing. Disasters start from day one
when, still at anchor, Pixie goes overboard and is thought to be
lost. Bobby, the Captain, ends up in a hospital with a dislocated
shoulder and when they finally set sail, they end up on a sandbank.
Their aim is to sail to England, but their plan to go around the
cape soon becomes a perilous quest to brave the Red Sea... While
tragedies occur almost daily as they battle with life at sea,
living aboard Sandpiper also has its lighter moments. Pixie keeps
them on their toes and every new port brings fascinating places and
people.
