Hilarious true story! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDid you know that the remora fish will try to swim up a whale shark's butt when they poop? The crew of Twig didn't. It turns out there was an awful lot the family of five didn't know when they decided to move aboard and set off for adventure on the high seas.\u003cp\u003eAfter decades of dreaming, and planning, the explorers finally sailed off into the sunset. Yes, they found the palm trees and coconuts they had longed for, but they also glimpsed the other side of paradise. They ran from waterspouts, dodged hurricanes, got (sort of) robbed by pirates, and played chicken with naval warships. They found themselves making emergency calls to the Coast Guard in the dead of night and learning the exact purpose of a nut jiggler during a late-night beach bonfire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin as the inevitable is pondered after a meal of coffee and chili on a night watch in \"What if I have to go poo?\". Commiserate the anxiety of the hurricane season and practice dodging rogue unmanned boats during a midnight tropical storm. Laugh at the captain's intimate misfortunes with marine toilets, sense what a pirate smells like, and discover how not to get crabs in this page-turning journey of the East Coast. You are invited to follow along with the frustration and joy of a life newly discovered afloat a 46-foot catamaran.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemember: If everything had gone exactly as planned....it wouldn't have been much of an adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter listing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Damn you Lisa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCocktails and Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe hand of God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown to the Banana Republics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanama vs Twig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Blows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorgia on my mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove and a sailboat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 2: Afloat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Aboard!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere's Vodka in the Boy's Bathroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfloat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHazmat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings that go bump in the night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Ignore the Bright Red Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaulk the Wagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect Strangers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 3: The Bahamas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 Flushes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nut Jiggler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch your six\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou smell like a pirate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI wet the bed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwist and Spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeather or not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 4: The East Coast\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat if I have to go Poo?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDr Jekyll's Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou say Savannah, I say Banana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePepperoni is not a fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of Warship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeling Crabby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere's Always Room For Jello\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh Ophelia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 5: Due South\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoat Chill Factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI lack depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWednesday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnchor(s) Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinderella Lost Her Slipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuck it Murphy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd Then We Hit a Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat the Fog?!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere's no place like home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Monday (Tribute to Jimmy Buffett)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlossary of Ridiculous Nautical Jargon\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51649203601682,"sku":"9798879111101","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dc8ee1c6-920c-4851-8fdc-453372de1286.jpg?v=1759846151","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/and-then-we-hit-a-rock-9798879111101","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
