Colin and Vivian Tripp buy a 'bargain' cement boat called Moonlighting with only the vaguest notion of boating. They envisage plain sailing, easy living and plenty of it.

What they get is a bucket load of troubles, a myriad of mishaps - plus some fun.

From the intricacies of anchoring to taming sea sickness, they weather the storms to eventually find a joie de vivre, albeit with the aid of an assortment of characters, who all seem to be experts about something.

Industry Reviews

Amusing and often laugh out loud funny. This is the tale of Mr and Mrs Everysailor and the things that happen are exactly what does happens. Including the good bits, that make the cruising life so addictive.
