Three Ways to Capsize a Boat: An Optimist Afloat ReviewAs a former Genesis drummer, one would think Chris Stewart found his niche early, hit his apex. His true calling, however, began unexpectedly as a sea captain. Tales of splashing salt water, life threateningly rough seas, disreputable ship captains, and very tolerant employers are relayed in this quick read packed with traditionally dry British comedic stylings.Nearly destitute, Chris gets a break when a friend recommends him as a yacht captain - with no prior experience or clue about sailing - to a wealthy couple wishing to sail the Greek islands. Misadventures, both humorous and dangerous, ensue, as he gets his sea legs under him. Later adventures take him across the North Atlantic, a Leif Ericson trip redux, where he learns a hilarious life-lesson about the dangers of urinating while aboard a ship in rough waters.
A lightweight read about one man's adventure travel, Three Ways to Capsize a Boat is at times filled with flowingly detailed prose, but in others bogged down by nautical jargon. Unless you have experience with sailing, tell your personal coxswain to heave to and release the drogue if you think you'll understand everything within this short read. The positive to Stewart's engaging style, however, is that no elements of the story are lost in the vocabulary lesson. Vicarious thrills and dangers can be easily followed by sailing neophytes, despite sentences that may be lost on a reader. Whether it is the bolt rope, bowline, or brace doesn't matter as long as the reader knows "something" is untied.
This is a fun, quick read for a day at the beach, and I'd say it is mandatory reading for sunny days in the crow's nest.
