Tales from the Port

By Vesta Fluoro

Ever wondered what really happens behind the barriers at your favourite ferry terminal?

No? Well, too bad - because you're about to find out.

Barely Afloat Ferries: Tales from the Port is a brutally honest and hysterically dramatic look at life on the edge of the English Channel. Inspired by real incidents that absolutely shouldn't have happened (but did), this is part memoir, part workplace comedy - the true chaos of international ferry travel, complete with angry tourists, cursed buses, feral machinery, customs catastrophes, and one man who tried to board using a Joker playing card.

Written by a former insider with a sharp pen and a stronger stomach, these semi-fictionalised stories capture the miscommunication, meltdown, and miracle-working that somehow kept the port running. Somehow. Barely.

Perfect for fans of Adam Kay, Tom Cox, or anyone who's ever survived a day in customer service. If you enjoy dry British humour, workplace absurdity, and true stories of logistics gone wrong - welcome aboard.

You'll laugh. You'll wince. You'll never look at a boarding pass the same way again.
