A family of 5, a dog, and a cat move onto a sailboat. Hilarious true story!
Did you know that the remora fish will try to swim up a whale shark's butt when they poop? The crew of Twig didn't. In fact, there was an awful lot they didn't know when they decided to move their family of five onto a sailboat and set off for adventure on the high seas.
After three decades of dreaming, planning, and saving, the hopeful voyagers sailed off into the sunset dreaming of palm trees and coconuts. They found what they had longed for, but also saw the other side of paradise. Waterspouts chased them down, pirates plundered, hurricanes relented, and midnight distress calls to the Coast Guard were made. They even learned the exact purpose of a nut jiggler late one night at a beach bonfire.
What happens after having chili and coffee before a night watch? Find out in "What if I have to go poo?". Commiserate the anxiety of the hurricane season and insurance companies in "Weather or not". Laugh at all too intimate misfortune with marine toilets in "42 Flushes". Find out what happens when you play chicken with and aircraft carrier in "House of Warship".
You are invited to follow along with the frustration and joy of a life newly discovered afloat a 46-foot catamaran. And remember...if everything had gone exactly as planned....it wouldn't have been much of an adventure.
