This is the real-life story of a small sailboat that some claim has cornered the market on "cuteness." Yet, it sails with a stability, safety, and speed that is remarkable in a craft just under twelve-feet long. It is called a "microcruiser," and in the few short years since the prototype was first launched in November of 2010, has gained a loyal following, and the fleet is rapidly growing in number. It all started in the boyhood dreams of teenagers. Now grown to men, they reached out to a designer in New Zealand. Finally, Scamp was born of the fortuitous confluence of individuals in a unique corner of the sailing world, Port Townsend, Washington.

They're called the Freakin' Old Guys, FOGs for short. Six geezers who love their small sailboats and cruise the Pacific Northwest for weeks at a time, enjoying the comradeship and sharing small adventures. It all turns serious when they pick up a fifteen-year-old juvenile delinquent, and becomes deadly when the Russian Mafia comes after one of them. The FOGs make a run for cover and hide in a fog bank. But when they emerge into an open sea, they are not anywhere near the Pacific Northwest and they're missing a man. Six retired men, all from different backgrounds with different personalities and capabilities, find themselves catapulted into the wildest adventure - their own Odyssey packed with the excitement, monsters, mysterious women, and capricious gods who tormented Ulysses. Their greatest enemy may be a demigoddess. She may also be their greatest ally. The FOGs are in a strange time and a very strange place. They have to find their way home somehow. They have a long, long way to go.
