Charlie Doane is among the most infectious prose-poets of today's marine literature. For more than twenty years his keen eye, trenchant wit, and off-center perspective have been delighting us in a voice that could never be confused for any other. In The Sea Is Not Full Charlie takes us to sea on several memorable voyages—some bound for the bottom, some for the heart of darkness, and some for the ages. Populated by an entertaining cast of wharf-rats, hucksters, even a real-deal guru or two, his stories are page-turners that'll surely stir the wanderlust in you.
