Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Nothing is without its downfalls, and boats are no different. Foul Bottoms: The Pitfalls of Boating and How to Enjoy Them is a collection of stories of the fun and not-so-fun of boating, as author John Quirk presents a book of text and art illustrating his stories, giving readers a fun and humorous romp through the challenges of recreational boating. From the coast to Africa, Foul Bottoms is a choice and very fun read; highly recommended. * Midwest Book Review *
Meet 'Quirky' and his very interesting, sometimes eccentric mates as he leads you through a lifetime of boat building and sailing adventures and misadventures, disasters and delights, in some rather strange places. The writing is wonderfully witty, the turns of phrase quite refreshing. It is a delightful read, and the enjoyment is heightened immeasurably by his detailed, full color, Peyton-like illustrations * Yachting World *
