Publisher's Synopsis

Is it possible for two men to escape midlife crisis in a floating garden shed? Not if they can't get the engine working. Take two men with a rudimentary knowledge of sailing, who only went to Amsterdam because it was in a straight line, who tried to beat the Germans at their own Regatta but almost sink in the attempt. Then, add a boat that's nearly fifty and incontinent and you have TO THE BALTIC WITH BOB, an out-of-the-ordinary travel memoir by Griff Rhys Jones that charts an off-the cuff sailing trip he once made into the lockers of the Nordic soul. And just so you know, it was all Bob's idea.

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
