This book is a candid and humourous account of the author's
adventures in sailing. It begins with his first experiences as a
teenager with rowing boats in the North East of England. Later he
describes the joys of sailing dinghies and cruisers in the South
West of England. These adventures range from smooth idylic sails in
good weather to a full on ship wreck in storm conditions. His tales
of learning to sail expand to yacht racing on the Swan River in
Perth and in the Indian Ocean, Western Australia. His lively and
candid descriptions of fellow yachtsmen and women he met while
sailing add wit and pathos to his abiding love of the sea. The book
should appeal not only to experienced yachtsmen but also to the
'arm-chair sailor' who likes to read about sailing. The title of
the book is in reference to a comment made by his wife, Anne, when
their sailing dinghy sprung a leak during their sail together.
