Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this book on a whim, and found it to be a quick, enjoyable read. It is written in a casual and conversational style which I found a bit awkward at times, but overall didn't detract from the book. I found it to be entertaining, often funny, and feel that it's certainly worth the $3 Kindle price.

Sailing Solo Alone is a true story about a man who, being a little bored with life and seeking some kind of excitement, buys a yacht.Three weeks later, with all of two hours sailing practice under his belt, most of which with the engine on, our hero (for want of a better word) decides to take his 18ft over-grown dingy for a 40 mile trip around the Kent coast. The Sea has one attempt at killing him. The boat manages to stay upright, more by luck than anything else. He even finds a safe haven for the night. Does he stay there? No!'He actually sets out to sea at three o'clock in the morning. If you wanted to be charitable, you could have said it was quite a nice night for a bit of a sail. Then again, this was the North Sea. The North Sea in October! This guy was a half-hitch short of a granny knot.Leaving the pier heads and the safety of the harbour. Looking to seaward, it was as dark as doomsday out there... And It was only going to get darker.It wouldn't be long before he realised buying a yacht called 'Solo', may not have been one of his better ideas.All a little late by then...--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
