How many times can you capsize a boat?

I have enjoyed reading Chris Stewart's adventures on a farm in Spain (Driving over Lemons and A parrot in the pepper tree), so was quite exciting to hear that he had also written about his adventures at sea. Three ways to capzise a boat – an optimist afloat describes his adventures in the Mediterranean as a skipper, learning to sail at first. Then moving on to a trip in the North Atlantic, destination New Foundland. He is filled with adventures and spirits and hearing it straight from the man himself on the audio book, gives it the extra zest.

Lemons in Andalusia Part II

The other day, I picked up Chris Stewarts book, The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society from the library. Little did I know that this was his third book in the same series. I had totally missed A Parrot in the Pepper Tree. They both are a continuation on his first book Driving over Lemons, about his life in the Spanish countryside. I hope this book is as funny and well written as the first one and then I will have to go on a hunt for the second book as well.
