I recommend this book for anyone over 70 who enjoys a good laugh
I bought two copies of this book for a couple of friends, both of whom are over 70 and still enjoy sailing... and the occasional beer. I'm certain they'll enjoy the beer controversy surrounding Eddie's Hard Aground picture on the back cover. I know I have enjoyed this book and am looking forward to Eddie's new novel. I sure hope he doesn't let that Sonny fellow die before he makes it with the lady he found on the island!!!

Great Bathroom Reading Material!
This book will never be considered a coffee table publication but it's the perfect book for the head or bathroom. The stories are just the right length and entertaining as.... well, you know. I loved it and continue to keep it stored under the lavatory sink.

Laughing all the while,
My wife and I have visited Oriental 3 times in the past 2 months and are planning to move there as soon as possible. She insisted on buying your book as she thought there might be references to Oriental in it. We read your book and enjoyed it immensely, laughing all the while.

Very inter-tanning,
This guy is a master of stating the un-obvious. The author nailed the essence of sailing in general, and boating in particular. ...
