StyleObservationalGenreClassicBritish Humor

Synopsis

This collection brings together cartoons and comic pieces about people trying to enjoy time on the water. Rowing trips, sailing plans, and encounters with boats all become opportunities for mishaps and amusement. The fun is in the familiar gap between how confidently people set out on the water and how their outings actually unfold. The jokes and illustrations keep the tone light and clean.
