All At Sea is the true story of Tim FitzHigham's successful attempt to be the first person in history to row the English Channel in a bath.

All At Sea is a celebration of the epic absurd, an attempt to explain just how out of hand things can become from a very simple starting point. The book follows the author's death-defying 200-mile journey in his antique Thomas Crapper bath - not just across the Channel, but around Kent - right up to the tremendous reception and huge media attention which awaited him under Tower Bridge. Tim met the Queen, and his bath now resides in the National Maritime Museum of Great Britain.

Praise for All At Sea

Tim FitzHigham is unhinged. He is completely without hinges.

Eddie Izzard

It is a very, very brave man who takes to the wild seas in a copper bath with only a rubber duck for support ... This is a very difficult challenge, so well done for keeping the art of British eccentricity well and truly alive.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes

I think it's fair to say that though I'm fairly well connected in the boating world, I only know one person who has crossed the Channel in a bath! Tim is one of those special people you meet rarely in life ... I respect him very much for being who he is, and not at all afraid of it!

Ellen MacArthur

Tim FitzHigham only exists because P. G. Wodehouse didn't invent him first.

Dave Gorman

Tim FitzHigham, I salute you ... Thank you for making this epic and hilarious voyage.

Richard Hammond
