Description:
A family of 5, a dog, and a cat move onto a sailboat. Hilarious true story!
Brief description: Greg Buenzli is a Colorado native who spent decades as a software engineering solving complicated problems for other people, only to create the most gloriously complicated problem of his own: convincing his wife that moving their family of five, plus a dog and cat, onto a forty-six-foot catamaran was a "brilliant" idea. After years of dreaming about sailing off into the sunset, Greg quickly learned that paradise comes with some unexpected twists-like emergency Coast Guard calls at 3 AM, the urgent philosophical question of "What if I have to go poo?" during a night watch, and discovering the exact purpose of a nut jiggler during a late-night beach bonfire. His book And Then We Hit a Rock chronicles this epic adventure where Murphy's Law became their unwelcome first mate, proving that if everything had gone exactly as planned, it wouldn't have been much of an adventure-or nearly as entertaining for the rest of us landlubbers to read about.
