Preface.
We had come in from the open sea, which all the day had been doing its utmost to make itself just as trying and difficult to live with as ever.

Introduction.
During the long, sad winter Vivette had been hauled out of the water and sheltered from the weather, while a good many improvements and repairs were made in order that when spring came round again she might be fit and ... (show all)strong to carry her crew of two, with such comfort as can be found on board a four-tonner, from one end of the narrow seas to the other.

Chapter I - From the Crouch to the Medway.

English
Disambiguation notice
The first of Chatterton's two 'Vivette' titles, recounting cruises from the Thames estuary down Channel to Falmouth in his 4 ton gaff-cutter, describing the voyage and the vessels encountered on the way.
