It is an outrageously funny, often touching, and continuously shocking look at the strange, watery-world of sea gypsies. Cap'n Fatty Goodlander superbly conveys the emotion and mystery of sea voyaging, and his love for the family that voyages with him. Martin Luray, senior editor, SAIL He's a classic story-teller in the tradition of P.J. O'Rourke, Art Buchwald, and Hunter Thompson... Fritz Seyfarth, TALES OF THE CARIBBEAN Customer Reviews: A portrait of life aboard a ship of heroes and fools   July 7, 2009 Carole A. Borges (Knoxville TN) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book is funny. This book is tender. This book shows Capt. Fatty at his very best. The only problem I find with it is the fact that it has, as Capt. Fatty's sister, made my life a living hell. Everywhere I go, the minute people hear I am related to Fatty, they descend upon me like ants over a cough drop. It doesn't matter if I am far inland or paddling a kayak on a lake. People who love boats and the water are absolutely insane about my brother. The reason? They have read this book and feel it has somehow given them hope of a better life. Sure, he's a great writer. If he wasn't why would he have such a devoted fan base? But, really, if you read it and you meet me, please don't ask me if every word is true. I lived the life, but I'm not saying. Read the book. You will be enlightened about family matters and gain insight into the world of obsessed boatmen. Be warned however, you very well might leave your wife, sell your business, and decide to sail off to chase your own horizon. You won't be the first one to do so. Harbors around the world are literally littered with people who read this book.
