Arriving back from the Caribbean in the schooner Gloria, Max finds that the economic recession is still in full swing, so embarks on a series of nautical adventures - some more successful than others. A delivery trip to Portugal led to two years of work to rebuild a multi-hull in carbon fibre, during which Max learnt skills that enabled him to modify his own yacht, taking him back to the Caribbean. As always, things don't run smoothly. Stormy weathers, both nautically and emotionally, lead to life-changing decisions. After dark days that see a relationship end, a good friend passing away and professional conflicts, better days were to come in the shape of new voyages and a new relationship. RYA Yachtmaster Max Liberson follows on from his previous book (The Boat They Laughed At) with a tale of friends, anecdotes and solutions to those real-world problems that trip up even the most hardened of sea-farers.
