Worse Things Happen at Sea is the long awaited follow up to Jake Kavanagh's hugely popular Ups and Downs of a Lockkeeper.
This time turning his humorous eye to the scrapes people get into
when let loose on open water, Jake has us chuckling, blushing and
recognising ourselves or fellow crew coming unstuck in the maritime
mayhem he highlights with his witty pen and captures so admirably with
his hilarious illustrations.
A great read for the armchair sailor - but you may decide that the armchair is the safest place to stay!
'Had me laughing out loud on many occasions.'
