Description
The Art of Getting Wrecked is a true story about the author's journey to build a yacht, sail around the world, and find his roots. His dream of a circumnavigation was put on hold when he was shipwrecked after hitting a reef at night. The author and his companion Mariann continued to pursue their dream, surviving numerous challenges including tropical storms, a Latin-American revolution, and mutinies. On a tiny tropical island, the author lived for 35 years, describing his experiences with pathos, wit, and humour. He was immersed in a small Caribbean island culture, which he describes with sincerity and respect for the people. This unique perspective offers a mix of observation, opinion, and anecdote, providing a glimpse into the author's remarkable life. The author's story is a testament to his resilience and determination, and offers a fascinating glimpse into his experiences on a tiny island in the sun.
