Publisher's Synopsis
Kim Sturgess was a weekend sailor: he enjoyed club racing and several brief sailing holidays, but had never attempted a substantial expedition. This book tells the quirky traveller's narrative of the voyage and visits to 48 towns. Evoking the spirit of both Jerome K. Jerome with his 'Three Men in a Boat' and Joshua Slocum's 'Sailing Alone Around the World', Kim shares his thoughts and struggles, recounting how easy it is for anyone to become an adventurer here at home.
