At the age of 57, Peter Keating set out to sail, single-handed,
across the Atlantic. It was a lifelong dream of a lifelong sailor
and though it was to be a solo journey, his waking and sleeping
hours were spent in the 'company' of his memories and erstwhile
companions and friends. From Werner and crocodile surfing, to
Gerhardt and the Gulag. From Charlie of Morova Lagoon, to Fred from
Fransesca. Their stories, along with the Mafiosa of Malta, Leo from
the Chesapeake, the myth of Napoleon on St Helena and many more
besides, were weaved into Peter's as they hauled along, day after
day, from horizon to horizon on the voyage from Norfolk, Virginia
to Lisbon, Portugal. They were there to help and inspire him and,
when he was caught in the middle of Hurricane Barry, to ensure he
reached out and survived. When at his lowest ebb, along came the
ghost of Sam, a friendly old sailor who kept Peter entertained
through the long, lonely hours of the dog watch. Together they fill
the pages of this book, yet this is not simply a sailing log of a
trip from the New World to the Old. This is a story of individuals
who have all lived on the edge. It shows what happens when you are
brave enough to push yourself beyond your current boundaries and
above all, go out on a limb. Yes, it will help you to understand
more about deep oceaning, its joys and terrors, but perhaps it will
also help the adventurer inside you to reflect on how you would
cope in similar circumstances. Ultimately, this is not just Peter
Keating's journey alone, but the journey of us all when we go out
on the edge - to peer over any horizon - and to finally emerge the
better for having left our safe harbour.
This wonderfully appealing and practical gift book features
step-by-step instructions on how to tie over 50 knots and when and
where to use them. The beautiful two colour illustrations and clear
instructions quickly teach you how to tie classic knots, such as
the Reef Knot and Bowline, through to more specialist knots such as
the Alpine Butterfly and the Taut Line Hitch. The knots are clearly
organised for safe application across a range of activities
including sailing, climbing, fishing, camping or for decoration.
The useful introduction and reference section tells you all you
need to know about knot work; including an explanation of the key
terms, recommended techniques and a complexity rating for tying
each knot. So, if you want to make a rope ladder with your kids,
sail the oceans, be safe climbing in the mountains or make a True
Lovers knot then this book has every knot you should know how to
tie, plus many more. The perfect gift for craftsmen and women alike
and the adventurer in all of us. Featuring an exclusive foreword
from Tim Treloar of TT Adventures, co-presenter of the
BAFTA-winning Survival School with Bear Grylls.
