"Come Sailing Again" by Mike Peyton

Introduction

"This my second sincere attempt to warn people of the so-called joys of sailing and, although in all fairness, I must give credit to my publishers for helping me in my campaign, I have a vague feeling that we may, in a manner of speaking, be in the same boat.

They're lost too

But, like the yachtsman and the bird he had conned on board, we are not necessarily of the same mind. The hope you will laugh again at these cautionary drawings, whereas I know and you know that although these incidents have not actually happened to you, if you sail long enough they will. But you will not be laughing then."
