A new collection of sailors' brilliantly funny, real-life blunders,
from the pages of Yachting Monthly. The book compiles the best of
the short real-life confessions from sailors from Yachting
Monthly's Confessions feature, many of them illustrated by original
cartoons. These cautionary tales are arranged into themed chapters,
for the amusement and edification of readers. Worse things happen
at sea, so the saying goes. This book relates the embarrassing
blunders and shameful shenanigans of real sailors to whom the worst
did happen. Even in a world of satellite navigation and social
media, shipwrecks, collisions, getting stuck in the toilet and
cases of mistaken identity can and do happen. They remain hidden
until the skipper can bear the guilt no longer and must unburden
their souls. The resulting stories are outrageously funny, while
allowing the rest of us to thank our stars it wasn't us and to
learn from others' mistakes. The Yachting Monthly Confessional has
been offering absolution for almost half a century. This hilarious
collection is the cream of the crop from the last few years,
illustrated by the brilliant cartoons of Bill Caldwell, and
deserves a place on every sailor's bookshelf as the definitive
guide of what not to do at sea!
