Seems like it was in here I saw an ebook about an attorney that decided to buy a sailboat and just go at it. Ends up in French Polynesia pacific getting urineated on by two large women to neutralize some coral poisons.

Does this book sound familiar? If anyone knows the name please provide !

The book could be William Buckley's book Racing Through Paradise. I have a copy of it that I haven't read. Maybe someone can confirm or deny?

A Frenchman suggested that someone piss on my wife when she got stung by a weaver fish! We declined and she walked it off in the hot sand.
The ammonia will do the trick, but at the time it is seen as a last resort.

I know about ammonia too... none of these responses are the ebook I am looking for. The man and wife team had never sailed... purchased a 35 or so rig, got caught in a hell of a storm at the first or second chapter. Ended up sailing across the pacific and was befriended by polynesian natives who hated christians and occasionally killed and ate natives of surrounding islands. A french naval ship would cruise by and shell the higher mountains as a show of ownership. They finally realized their welcome was worn out and left in the dark of night. The man is a lawyer... it is a good read...true story.
