About the book
With characteristic self-deprecating humour, he recounts his hapless adventures as a young man determined to make his living on the water, despite having absolutely no idea what he was doing. From catastrophic sailing mishaps to ill-fated fishing expeditions, Stewart's nautical incompetence provides endless entertainment. His tales of capsizing boats, infuriating experienced sailors, and somehow surviving his own enthusiasm make for a delightfully funny memoir that will resonate with anyone who's ever been spectacularly bad at something they loved. A charming reminder that passion doesn't always require competence, and that our failures often make the best stories.
