does the boy get to the through a sort of lake because that sounds familiar

How does the boy get transported to the fantasy world? Where was he and what was he doing when this happened?
Where does he live - country, region, big city/small town?
What is his father's job?
Hey guys, Thanks for the ideas - it's not the Grey Griffin series - It doesn't sound familiar and was written about 5+ years after the time period I'm looking for.
The problem with trying to recall memories from 20 years ago is that I can say - hey this is what my library looked like where I got them from - but I can't grab more details about the actual books themselves.
But let's try anyway :) .. I have no clue how the kid got to the other world. The kid was just as surprised as me that he was elsewhere. [so no useful narrowing it down clues - nor can I say what he was doing prior. He ended up on a ship. That was more pertinent in my memory].
Where does he live? Pass. Probably urban. Parents don't know he's doing this. I assume there's two parents. There may be one.
Father's job? Not a clue. I'm really not providing much help.
Other maybe useful info - author may be from later in the alphabet [S?] (trying to recall which shelf end I used to pick the books from). There were a series - 3+ books. So no trilogies - more like the Famous Five books where each book can stand alone kinda.
I found it! It's the Buccaneers and New Buccaneers series by Sheila K McCullaghIf only I had focused on the ship side of things - the whole series is about the pirate ship he lands on initially. Oh brain why were you not helpful about remembering that. At least I got that the people who attacked him were Wolves... well Wolf Men - but pretty close!
Its a great book. Does anyone know where it can be bought now? Its impossible to find a copy of it

This is a book series - where a boy (child/teen?) ends up unintentionally transported to another world. He ends up on this pirate ship type boat (frigate?). The captain and crew are mystified/unhappy about how he came aboard - think he's a stowaway. There's a crew member called Little X (John?) who is a huge fellow. (Possible another crew member who's the reverse.) [Things happen. I assume he get's back home somehow. - because each book is him ending up back in the world.. I think >.>]
In potentially another book in the series - the boy ends up attacked by a gang in the fantasy world - and is transported back to his world badly beaten. His parents find him and he ends up in the hospital/talking to police. Police are trying to figure out if the - Wolves? - is a new gang they need to know about (they don't realize he was attacked in another world.)
I think the boy's father/uncle may have also traveled to the same world in the past.
I believe I read these in the late 90s. Around the same time Gillian Cross's Demon Headmaster series had 4-5 books so 1997~?
