The Boat Who Wouldn't Float


Happy Adventure is a schooner with a fatal flaw, it leaks like a sieve. Regardless, Farley is determined to sail this boat.

This book was first published in 1969, but is a timeless piece of work. Mowat is a natural story teller and his narrative and anecdotes are brilliant. He wrote this during his eight year residency in Newfoundland.
