From the Back Cover

. . . Quite simply the funniest book I have ever read.

--William F. Buckley, Jr., Captain of the Suzy Wong

A lexicon bringing new meaning to the things said at sea.

From: ABANDON: The wild state in which a sailor buys a boat.

To: Zephyr: A warm, pleasant breeze named after the mythical Greek god of wishful thinking, false hopes, and unreliable forecasts.
