Product Description

Dozens of sea stories from the most outrageous marine journalist in the Caribbean "I've always been astounded at the number of requests I get for reprints. 'Send me a copy of that story where you puke on the nuns...' or 'remember the story where you smashed a Baltic 51 into the reef off Antigua?' or 'do you have a copy of the one where the West Indian fisherman screws the charter cook on the foredeck?' Yes, indeed, I do. Somehow, in the sweet innocence of my youth, I always thought that being a professional writer would be, well, sort of refined and dignified. The savage reality, at least for me, has been anything but.

The Collected Fat. What an awful title, eh? People thought it was some sort of disgusting diet book. Even my mother was reluctant to read it. But it has some great early stories of Caribbean sailing madness--written with a more confident hand than Seadogs, Clowns & Gypsies.

These stories are among the best I've ever written. Imagine how that makes me feel.

5Early Fatty
By hilbre
Interesting and sometimes funny but also a little rough. A really good example of how writers mature over the years and improve their style and structure. Fatty's latest writings are more fluid and the humor more subtle and I find his recent writings far more enjoyable. Not that this book is bad, it is still a good read and quite enjoyable if you are a cruising sailor it provides lots of home truths about life on a boat. It is just that Fatty has moved on and become a much better writer, he has certainly improved with age.

5Great read
By Red Hawk
I received this as a gift, and was not sure I would enjoy it, boy was I wrong. From page one Fatty drew me into his world and life of adventure and humor wrapped in warm saline solution. Finished this great read in the first weekend. You won't regret buying this book!!!

5Absolutely hysterical
By Stephen T. Hayes
The Collected Fat (Cap'n Fatty)This collection of humorous columns is a delight to read. Don't read it in your shared berth, because you will rock the boat with laughter. The book works particularly well on the Kindle, because the words (not pictures) are the point and because short columns are great for that spare minute reading (which is why I bought the Kindle). After finishing this book, I went back to Amazon and downloaded a couple more by the Cap'n.
