Tired of everyday life ashore  Farley Mowat would find a sturdy boat in Newfoundland and roam the salt sea over  free as a bird. What he found was the worst boat in the world  and she nearly drove him mad. The Happy Adventure  despite all that Farley and his Newfoundland helpers could do  leaked like a sieve. Her engine only worked when she felt like it. Typically  on her maiden voyage  with the engine stuck in reverse  she backed out of the harbour under full sail. And she sank  regularly.  How Farley and a varied crew  including the intrepid lady who married him  coaxed the boat from Newfoundland to Lake Ontario is a marvellous story. The encounters with sharks  rum-runners  rum and a host of unforgettable characters on land and sea make this a very funny book for readers of all ages.
