Chris Stewart is the hilarious author of Driving Over Lemons and its sequels, which have become classics of the Brit-Living-Abroad genre of travel writing. This is a bit different, but perhaps even funnier, as Stewart, who has never sailed before, agrees to captain a sailboat in the Greek Islands. After a few misadventures, he gets the sailing bug, and goes on to retrace the voyage of Viking Leif Ericsson across the North Atlantic where the misadventures continue. Always the optimist, Chris Stewart writes with great good humour and is a very likeable narrator.
