| | In Stock | | Availability:
Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Chasing the Horizon is a delightfully demented sea yarn which chronicles the life and times a modern cruising sailor. It is an outrageously funny, often touching, and continuously shocking look at the strange, watery-world of sea gypsies.
Cap'n Fatty Goodlander superbly conveys the emotion and mystery of sea voyaging, and his love for the family that voyages with him.
Martin Luray, senior editor, SAIL
He's a classic story-teller in the tradition of P.J. O'Rourke, Art Buchwald, and Hunter Thompson...

 A portrait of life aboard a ship of heroes and fools Jul 07, 2009
By Carole A. Borges
This book is funny. This book is tender. This book shows Capt. Fatty at his very best. The only problem I find with it is the fact that it has, as Capt. Fatty's sister, made my life a living hell. Everywhere I go, the minute people hear I am related to Fatty, they descend upon me like ants over a cough drop. It doesn't matter if I am far inland or paddling a kayak on a lake. People who love boats and the water are absolutely insane about my brother. The reason? They have read this book and feel it has somehow given them hope of a better life. Sure, he's a great writer. If he wasn't why would he have such a devoted fan base? But, really, if you read it and you meet me, please don't ask me if every word is true. I lived the life, but I'm not saying. Read the book. You will be enlightened about family matters and gain insight into the world of obsessed boatmen. Be warned however, you very well might leave your wife, sell your business, and decide to sail off to chase your own horizon. You won't be the first one to do so. Harbors around the world are literally littered with people who read this book.

Day to day living at its best Sep 04, 2011
By Pandemonium
Very interesting account of living the sea gypsy life from someone who grew up with and continued the way of life that meant almost constantly living day to day so that they were never too far from yachts or the sea. A barely subsistence lifestyle is not for everyone but its a very good and funny read.
