About this audiobook
Seeking a peaceful retirement, a gruff but lovable sea captain settles in a quiet farming village, only to find shore life far more chaotic than the ocean. His attempts to apply strict nautical discipline to eccentric neighbors, runaway livestock, and local busybodies result in hilarious disasters. No matter how hard he tries to keep an even keel, the captain is constantly drawn into absurd community squabbles. It is a delightful, comedic romp highlighting the clash between a salty mariner and rural domesticity.
