Storm the maverick hero of Captain G String has finally won the battle for control of Sydney Harbor’s iconic beaches. He soon realizes owning a weather related business isn’t enough, especially when he’s trying to save enough cash to launch phase two of his lifelong dream, which is owning his own charter boat. As always he has a plan and that plan requires him taking a long break from surfing to achieve his dream. Biting off more than he can chew and chewing like hell. What lies ahead of him is a hotbed of scandal and controversy not to mention enemies from the past hell bent on settling old scores. 

This book will inspire anyone that has ever had a dream to be true to themselves and go for it despite ridicule or condemnation. It is as much a story about tenacity and resourcefulness as it is a story about self-discovery. Make no mistake the narrative of the story is told in a manner, which is the polar opposite to that of the self-help guru’s or the politically correct crowd. Set during the 1990’s, Waterfront and Beach culture was a culture within a culture. It was an era devoid of touchy feely marketable clichés of the modern day. Real men didn’t drink lattes, mobile phones were the size of a brick and violence was a common currency. Strap yourself in for a funny sometimes shocking and totally unique story written with the Australian larrikin spirit.
