In 1974, 22-year-old virgin sailor Mick escapes unemployment,
family and 3-day-week London to become a deckhand on a small
sailboat, Gay Gander, setting out to sail the Atlantic from
England's West Country, via the Canaries, to Antigua in the
Caribbean. Under the eye of an unfathomable skipper, John Francis
Kearney, and his formidable sailing companion Carola (both escaping
from a rain-sodden Ireland and broken marriages), Mick has to learn
sailing, table manners, bridging the generation gap and getting
along with Stryder, the Russian Blue ship's cat. The Long Lost Log
should be fiction but is the true story of a voyage of discovery
that Mick - against all odds - survived to tell this remarkable and
hilarious tale. His inner and outer journey combines danger with
the unexpected, the erotic and the comic, in a resonantly related
rite of passage that leaps from the page like the curious whale
that once disturbed the narrator's watch. The skipper involved
happens to be the publisher's late father.
