A hilarious glimpse into the secret lives of a motley crew of college professors who abandon their landlocked lives (and wives) for one week every year and go sailing. Tom Watkins vividly recounts a decade's worth of these annual escapes, as the adventurous academics fish, dive, drink, and dream together in such exotic locales as the Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, and the Grenadines, all the while coming to a better understanding of themselves and each other.
