Boaties' Tales

They say the happiest two days in a boaties life are the day he buys his boat and the day he sells it. Between those events, anything can happen and Boaties Tales provides ample evidence of that. During more than 40 years on the water, veteran New Zealand journalist Peter Jessup has been sunk twice, run aground several times, run out of fuel, left the bung out, forgotten the keys and made pretty-well all the mistakes a boatie can. Youll learn from the mistakes and bad luck of others whether they were aboard yachts, tankers, fishing trawlers or some of the worlds biggest fighting ships. Some stories will make you laugh. Others will shock and surprise. All of them will entertain!
