There are some funny scenes in this book. Like when we anchored near Labuan Island in the South China Sea to swim under the boat and scrape off barnacles. And a sea-snake came to see what we were doing.

I was underwater and it passed six inches above my face. Had I surfaced then, it would have been high-and-dry draped around my head. But I couldn’t hold my breath forever.

When I came up for air, the snake and I were at eye level with each other. Much panic. To protect my eyes, I looked away and called to Faith on the other side of the hull that there was a snake in the water and she should get up the boarding ladder. More panic.

My movement gave the snake a fright and he and Faith passed each other going in opposite directions, she going for the boarding ladder and he getting away from me.

But the snake would not leave the vicinity of the rudder. We had to both climb on board, weigh anchor and motor around in circles before he swam away. Then we re-anchored, dived overboard again and carried on working under the hull.
