Very few people understand the magic of the sea... and very few people ever knew that the world's best known actor Humphrey Bogart spent much of his free time aboard his sailboat SANTANA. Bogie committed many years of study and practice to earn the reputation as one of the most accomplished racers and captains in the area. Fellow sailor Larry Dudley came to be Bogie's friend, cabin mate and confidant during their ten years together sailing and racing off the coast of Southern California.

He referred to the SANTANA as "the other world" and revealed a side of himself to his sailing friends that no one else knew. "Sailing With Bogie" reveals insights into his wife Lauren Becall, Katherine Hepburn, Jack Warner, John Huston, Sterling Hayden and others.

Book Description
Chronicles the turbulent Hollywood love story of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, navigating fame, adversity, and enduring passion against all odds. It was the Hollywood romance that warmed hearts and thrilled audiences, but the path to true love was littered with alcoholism, abandonment and bitter disappointments. Humphrey Bogart had crawled up the hard way, leaving behind a childhood without affection for a life as the idol of millions. Bogie’s road to stardom had been long and tough, forging a superstar who hated being in the spotlight as much as he loved being in the bar. With three marriages to his name and a reputation as one of the hardest drinkers in Hollywood, happiness was always fleeting. Lauren Bacall grew up in New York as the apple of her hard-working mother’s eye, dreaming of a life in the limelight. Modelling by day and tearing tickets at night, when she was summoned to Hollywood to make a screentest, young Betty Bacall grabbed it with both hands. There she was reborn as the vampish Lauren Bacall, a teenage nobody who would make her debut in To Have and Have Not opposite the quintessential Hollywood tough guy, Humphrey Bogart. Nobody expected what came next, but the love affair between Bogie and Bacall took the world by storm. The Real Bogie & Bacall tells the story of two people whose romance shouldn’t have worked… but did.
