Summary
Details

Captain Rob asks, ""How would you like to help navigate my boat across the South China Sea?"" It's euphoria and panic. Norm has never been to sea before, barely been on a boat.

The Naked Sailor is a light-hearted memoir of a naïve retiree enticed off to sea...""Don't worry, it's mostly Auto Pilot"". Who knew there were pirates in paradise, earthquake tsunamis that rolled over your boat, or a new typhoon every two weeks? Who knew a jellyfish could kill you in thirty seconds or three-foot bats lived in Busuanga? Add three cranky shipmates, the CIA, a bar girl surprise, and a few jokers not playing with a full deck, and you'll agree...from the sins of Bangkok to the Great Wall of China...this trip is not your ordinary empty nester vacation. Fears and phobias nearly do him in, until he discovers 'That something magical', Call of the Sea. It is a story of introspection and self-discovery, of friendship and family. And, it's what happens when you are floating naked, contemplating the heavens above and all the perils below.
