If you’re wondering what Chris Stewart did
before he and Ana moved to El Valero, their Spanish farm, here’s one of
the answers. He took to the sea, landing a job as skipper for the summer,
sailing a Cornish Crabber around the Greek islands. It was his dream job
– and there was just one tiny problem. He hadn’t ever sailed before
and had not the foggiest how to start. In a series of madcap and hilarious adventures we follow Chris from a shaky start in Chichester harbour to his epic Odyssey to Spetses (a bucket would have been handy), and then on to the journey of a lifetime – battening down the hatches on a trip across the North Atlantic. It’s a journey crackling with Chris’s zest for life, irresistible humour, and unerring lack of foresight. |
