Summary: Wonderfully funny
Comment: This book is the funniest in our book collection. I've owned my copy for over 30 years. My wife and I have read it over and over again and we still laugh out loud--we know all the punch lines by heart.

Mike Green has a self-deprecating British sense of humor, and he paints a hilarious picture of a wacky boat trip on inland narrow rivers. In one week, they encounter (or, more accurately, cause) every marine disaster known, from Insanity of Ship's Master and Explosion of Vessel, to Death at Sea, as well as some previously unknown, such as Going Aground on a Bungalow. Anyone who has ever sailed will be able to relate to the experiences described--knots that come untied in the middle of the night; knots that can't be untied when they need to be; skippers shouting desperately at the crew in the face of an impending collision. . . you get the picture.

This book was written in the 1950's, but the sailing experiences are timeless.
