Humor
Chasing the Horizon is a delightfully demented,
outrageously funny, often touching, and continuously
shocking book about growing up aboard a funky old schooner,
and becoming a confirmed Caribbean sea gypsy.
Capn Fattys story is too bizarre to be fiction. Father
wears floral skirts; mother is a tad vague. Sister Carole
isnt interested in her millionaire suitor, shes too busy
smooching with the kid in the cesspool truck. Their strange
live-aboard boat caravan includes Mort the Mortician,
Backwards Bernie, Ruby Red the Conman, Barefoot Benny,
Geeper Creeper, Para the Paranoid, Lusty Laura, Xlax, Shark
Boy, the Pawtucket Pirate, Bait Broad, Colonel Crispy,
Scupper Lips, Bob the Broker, the Pirate Queen, Otto the
Owner, the Twin Slaves of Green Slime even a terribly long-
winded fellow named (Hurricane) Hugo. All seem hell-bent on
avoiding the cops, the creeps, each other, and especially,
the Dreaded Dream Crushers. Dive in!
