Just finished reading the above title, written by Phil Jarratt.

Very entertaining and comprehensive.

Here's a short excerpt from the book :

"One of the guys, Bogie, was from a wealthy New York family and he brought a trimaran here.
He was going to do a load to Australia, a couple of hundred pound of Sumatran rag weed.
He was rich, he didn't need to do a load to anywhere, but he wanted to be one of the guys, I guess.
He looked like Jesus, with long hair and a beard, and he was on some weird diet of dried fruit.
He took off for Australia with this other guy and he just snapped, lost his mind, maybe from eating all that dried fruit.
They turned around and came back, throwing all the weed overboard.
Bogie was a basket case after that, he'd sit there with a blanket over him and you'd have to feed him.
So his family came and got him and he left the trimaran here, just abandoned it ....

We thought we may as well use it ... so off we went to G-Land."
