Ever wonder why we do it?  - Mike PeytonEver wonder why we do it? - Mike Peyton
Mike Peyton is the nautical world's best known and much loved cartoonist. For years he has made his mark, contributing witty, well executed and poignantly funny cartoons to the yachting and boating press, poking fun at seafarers of all types and capturing in his distinctive cartoon style their often eccentric and idiosyncratic ways.

Now here, at last, is a wonderful collection of Mike Peyton's light hearted and amusing recollections of time spent messing about in boats, all illustrated in his unique cartoon style.

A perfect bunkside read for seafarers and landlubbers alike.

Worse Things Happen at Sea - Jake Kavanagh
"Worse things Happen at Sea" is the long-awaited follow-up to Jake Kavanagh's hugely popular "Ups and Downs of a Lockkeeper".

This time turning his humorous eye to the scrapes people get into when let loose on the open water, Jake has us chuckling, blushing and recognising ourselves or fellow crew coming unstuck in the maritime mayhem he highlights with his witty pen and captures so admirable with his hilarious illustrations.

A great read for the armchair sailor- but you may decide that the armchair is the safest place to stay.
