Chasing the Horizon

Wow, what a blast, a little mind blowing book! I just finished reading "Chasing the Horizon" by Cap'n Fatty Goodlander. The book is amussing, witty, very witty, and has touches home on several levels.

You don't need money to live your dream life, to own a boat, to cruise the seas.

You can be a pro writer and the jouralist, even if you did not attend the high school. You have to be willing to practice a lot and to be hundred-fold rejected and ridiculed.

You can have a family aboard. You can find the fullfilment in life beyond the collecting the things like houses, cars, and plasma TVs in the rat race of the corporate humpster wheel.

Don't be fooled by the corse language used, it is "for the effect", the book is a valuable literature.

Together with "The Zen and the art of motorcycle maintanance", this book is definitelly going on my "short" bookshelf of this man's essentials.

Classic.
