The company are being extremely unhelpful and demanding all kinds of photographic and video evidence of the fault, presumably to avoid having to give a refund. Bumfuzzle is an exciting and entertaining card game designed to flummox even the mightiest minds among us with brain-crampingly simple exercises. The oldest player goes first, turning over the card from the top of their pile, without looking, and placing it face up in the middle of the table. but I'd hoped for a little more about the places he actually visited, instead of just endless descriptions of sailing.He tells his tale with humor and wit, yet also with an appreciation for his newfound lifestyle and little patience for the gatekeepers who treat the "cruising" lifestyle as an elitist sport. Played with all all the family (teens to 80's) and a visitor from overseas who had english as a 2nd language - and we all enjoyed it.

Then there was the drama when the greasy water tank leaked and they only had a gallon or so of water for a long passage…then he goes on about his water maker. Sometimes their complaining about sailing gets old, but I suppose anyone as unprepared as these two were would find the long passages boring. Brace yourself for an unpredictable showdown where quick thinking is your best ally, yet the game has an uncanny ability to keep you on the edge of hilarity. The best thing about this book is that it imparts to the read that desires can be accomplished regardless of your situation or station.Their comfortable existence wasn't doing it for them, and the idea of moving to the suburbs from the city to become more comfortable made them queasy. I enjoyed the read, as someone else has said it's a sailing journal presenting the authors point of view. This is a lovely cocktail of independent free spirits, mixed with wanderlust, entertaining observations and a twist of practicality. Put down a card from your pile each time you correctly respond first, but be careful; the wrong answer can cost you picking up all the cards from the centre!

we have had to stop his card, contact lloyds fraud team and we still have no idea how this has happened. I admire the chutzpah needed to do what the authors did, though at times it does seem a bit baffling that they spent so much time sailing around the world when they don't actually like to sail. Still, at the end of the day I guess having your own catamaran is a great way to get to out of the way places and explore them, which is clearly the part of the experience that they actually enjoyed.There isn't any any attempt to try to make themselves look better, or to cover up the numerous rookie mistakes they made as they overcame the steep learning curve, and conquered the world. Like I said in the intro, I would have liked to have seen more about the actual countries these two visited. This book has some mixed reviews but if you go in expecting it for what it is, a SAILING Journal, then you won't be disappointed. I bet this book ruffled some feathers among the snooty cruising crowd and I almost wet myself laughing several times when he described the herd mentality and mindless idiocy of some of the people who are so proud of being "full-time sailors. Seems sort of miraculous that they survived - but I guess maybe circumnavigation isn't quite as tricky as it was in Magellan's day?
