Hugh has been writing about life for a while now. No, not since birth, but he was thinking about it. He accepts that life is mostly strife, interrupted by periods of inappropriate laughter and senseless optimism.
He has primarily expressed his conflicted character in comic endeavours (life itself) and in his comic writing and poetry. The book ‘An Animal Life’ is largely anti-anthropomorphic: it’s not so much that animals have human characteristics, as that we are all characteristically animals.
If you think that’s confusing, you should read the poetry.
Sailing misadventures. Yes, it is unfortunately tautological. But if it's taught us anything, it's that anything is better than not sailing, I think.
Sailing Misadventures is the comic tale of three blokes on a 48-foot catamaran setting-out to sail from Cebu in the Philippines to Phuket in Thailand. Unfortunately, no one dies, gets injured or even has to be rescued; but all these diverting options, and many others, were variously in prospect on a daily basis.
Like many sailing adventures, it often starts out well. Well yes, that's usually the case before you start, otherwise you probably wouldn't. Although sometimes, even before you start, there are any number of embuggerances including equipment, bureaucracy, time (its ubiquitous absence) and people (oh yes, people – more of that later) and not excluding almost everything and anything else. No wonder sailing is full of misadventures. And when you add the sea, the weather and surprisingly, the land into all that, misadventure is almost an inevitability.
But, we still do it because....
Yes, that is a tricky one. I'll leave you to answer that one on your own.
But, if you're looking for misadventure, here are some options you might like to try.
