A charming account of how the ingénue author bought a Wayfarer dinghy and crossed the English Channel in her, having taught himself to sail and navigate. Stirred by news of the imminent replacement of the last of the Channel lighthouse keepers by computer automated lights, Smith abandoned his press agency job in 1999 to research and explore the vanishing way of life along the shores of the Channel. He was hooked. He had to sail it himself. His account of this adventure weaves in much interesting history of this much-travelled but still enigmatic stretch of water.
