A book about a first time yacht owner and what happens when you don't learn to sail and captain this size of boat first, plus what happens when take on crew that you don't know and try and sail across the Mediterranean as your first adventure. If nothing else it should be a lesson to people like me, who have yet to learn to sail and always dreamed of the romance of doing so and sailing round the world - beware. However, its a good book and easy to read, well worth it if its still available (had this book years from a second hand stall).
