 Hilarious Light-Hearted Romp September 3, 2008
This is exactly the kind of book I like to read, light hearted, funny, true storytelling. If you like the sea and you like having a chuckle over the antics of others this is a great book for you.
Mowat is terrific! May 5, 2008
If you are an out-of-doors person, love humor and rum, Mowat is your kind of read. You will love everyone of his books no matter what the title is.
Excellent book! April 15, 2008
The only thing that would have made this book better is if I could have shared it with my boat loving dad before he passed away. This book made me so nostalgic for the old tugs my dad bought and struggled with and rarely got past the breakwater at the marina with. I learned all my best cuss words on those weekends on the boats.
Mowats memoir of his time with the Happy Adventure made me laugh. Made me happy and reminded me why I only ride ferry boats and cruise ships.
I plan to read many of his other works and look forward to learning more of his adventures.
The boat that wouldn't float February 8, 2008
Great read...laughed myself nearly to death! You NUST read it if you've ever sailed a boat or visited Newfoundland or the Eastern provences.
Mowat at his best December 14, 2007
Worth reading for Mowat's explanation of the three cardinal tenets of rum drinking in Newfoundland alone.
