Not sure if this book has been discussed here, but I did a forum search and couldn´t find it. So here goes:
I would like to recommend the book "Brave of Stupid" to the forummers here at YBW. The book is about two swedes, that never sailed in their lives and of which one is always seasick, who decide during a cycling holiday along the D-Day beaches in France that they want to sail around the world. The road till they actually set off is amazing, their journey even more. The red line is about alcohol, but in a funny way. Their Hallberg Rassy nearly sinking because of the 2000 bottles of wine and 3000 tins of beer they carry.
Besides it being very informative and a little more up to date than most books, it is primairily hilariously funny too. I have literally laughed or at least grinned through most chapters. Very well written, with a great sense of humor and self reflection.
There is also an e-book version apparently. But since I like books, I got the actual paper version.
