Cap'n Fatty's latest book,
hot off the press November 21, 2008 is:
Cruising World Yarns has 3 dozen of Cap'n Fatty's best sailing and cruising stories from the pages of Cruising World magazine. To buy a book, click here.
I’ve been writing for the magazine almost a decade now and suddenly realized how many great stories I had accumulated over the years. Carolyn and I printed them out and culled the best—and were startled to see we had more than enough for a book. So we figured—why not?
The entire book was created aboard our modest $3,000 38 foot sloop Wild Card during the second circumnavigation—all the writing, photography, graphics, etc were done either at sea or at anchor.

Reviews of Chasing the Horizon:
For all the Captain Fatty fans out there, this is a must read. Great background on what makes him such a great character, a steadfast sailor and a hilarious writer. It's laugh-out-loud funny. And is highly recommended for every occasion except night-time reading while you wife is trying to sleep. |
By A Customer When it comes to capturing the most wonderful adventures imaginable afloat, this author is by far the most captivating. It's kind of like Angela's Ashes set on a boat floating down the Mississippi river. The family is so far out! I especially like his sister & it seemed so nice of him to include some of her own writing in the book. If you like cruising or living aboard boat stories. Don't miss this one! |
By A Customer Thought provoking, interesting, always fun. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. |
I almost got thrown off the boat while cruising the Isle de saints because I laughed so hard at night. Fatty is indeed a real guy and his wife is a saint. It is one of those books you can pass around and reread 10 times. For a couple of bucks you can't go wrong, heck it is cheaper then a fuel filter. |
