CAUGHT BY THE SEA My Life on Boats

Paulsen sets the stage, and narrator Patrick Lawlor picks right up on the drama in this autobiographical work. Listeners will relive Paulsen's memories of solo sailing trips, terrific storms, and the pervasive call of the ocean. Lawlor truly evokes the performance nature of the piece, and at times it feels as if listeners are right alongside Paulsen through the endless days of no wind or the manic minutes hanging from the mast looking for rogue waves. From tongue-in- cheek boat-buying tips to a list of what not to do on maiden voyages, Paulsen and Lawlor take listeners on a journey that will invigorate even the most ardent landlubber.
