This
is not the story of an epic voyage, or a life and death struggle on an unforgiving
ocean, but the story of an average young man who began his sailing career as
a clumsy deck hand on a charter boat and over the summer weekends of twenty
years became the slightly less clumsy skipper of 'Enigma'
The very pages of this website spawned the idea for a 'proper' book, and some
of the stories featured here have been re written and included in the 168 page
paperback
Follow this autobiographical account of some of the more memorable close shaves, near misses and mishaps that are not really unique of special, but are just like the experience of so many of us who love to leave our worries and troubles behind and go messing around in boats.
If you enjoy the pages of Enigmasailing.co.uk then you will already be familiar with the kind of rubbish contained in this book, but if you are tired of logging on, and your mouse wrist is aching with the repetitive strain of it all, then take this handy sized paperback around with you and you will be able to enjoy the exploits of the Skipper and his various crews from the comfort of your own bed, sofa or lavatory.
