About this ebook
As a boy, the author fell in love with the graceful sailboats he saw dancing on shimmering waters. But many years passed before he had the time and the wherewithal to buy his first sailboat—a traditional but tubby New England catboat. Fat Guy in a Fat Boat is his story of trying to tame what he thought was a ballerina of a boat that turned out to be a nautical she-devil. But in learning to sail, he was also learning life lessons. Seasoned sailors and armchair mariners will find his story at once hilarious and heart-warming.
