Sail with him to exotic and beautiful locals . from Canada to Cuba. And meet unforgettable (and sometimes downright incredible) sailors, adventurers, friends, indigenous peoples, various eklectic folks and assorted characters along the way.

Truly remarkable tales from an amazing life among boats -- especially multihulls. After finishing certain portions of this book you'll probably find yourself saying, Wow . you're never gonna believe what I just read, to anybody who will listen

Jim Brown is easily one of the most celebrated figures in the 20th century's modern multihull movement. And after reading this first volume of this memoir, you'll feel like you've come to know the man in the same way you know a personal friend.

Many memoirs are meant to embellish the life work of the author, which often means playing loose with the truth about the past, being selective about what facts to include (and which ones to bury) and producing an endless amount of positive spin meant to always put the writer in a positive light.

Not so with this memoir.

If anything, Jim Brown tries hard to separate facts from fiction, and offers a deeply personal account that includes notable mistakes (both career and personal) in the midst of many great moments throughout his life. For this reason alone, his memoir is destined to forever endear him to its readers . including you
