Go Simple, Go Solo, Go Now In 1958, while flying from one island to
another, Audrey Sutherland sees the remote and roadless northeast
side of Molokai, with its spectacular sea cliffs and waterfalls.
Always an adventurer, she decides that she must find a way to
explore this then inaccessible area. After much study, she
determines that the best way for her to navigate these treacherous
sea walls is to swim while towing an inflatable kayak. This is the
story of fulfilling her dream, of planning then implementing, of
launching and advancing, of retreating and reconnoitering, of
challenge and success. This is the story of the trip that convinced
her that personal growth comes when one goes simple, goes solo,
goes now.

One clear morning in May, Nick Thorpe left his Edinburgh flat,
ducked off the commuter route and hitched a ride aboard a little
white canal boat, heading west towards the sea. It was the first
mutinous step in a delightful boat-hopping odyssey that would take
him 2500 miles through Scotland's canals, lochs and coastal waters,
from the industrial Clyde to the scattered islands of Viking
Shetland. Writing with characteristic humour and candour, the
award-winning author of EIGHT MEN AND A DUCK plots a curiously
existential voyage, inspired by those who have left the warm hearth
for the promise of a stretched horizon. Whether rowing a coracle
with a chapter of monks, scanning for the elusive Nessie, hitting
the rocks with Captain Calamity or clinging to the rigging of a
tall ship, Thorpe weaves a narrative that is by turns funny and
poignant - a nautical pilgrimage for any who have ever been tempted
to try a new path just to see where it might take them. Part
travelogue, part memoir, ADRIFT IN CALEDONIA is a unique and
affectionate portrait of a sea-fringed nation - and of the
drifter's quest to belong.
To celebrate 60 years of sailing Scottish waters, the author
single-handedly sailed Halcyon, a 32' wooden yawl, from Fairlie on
the Clyde, round the Mull of Kintyre by way of numerous inner
islands to Barra in the Outer Hebrides and to the Atlantic side of
the islands, not often visited by cruising yachts. Bad weather
forced a diversion to explore the sea lochs of the west coast of
Harris and Lewis, the islands of Taransay (of the BBC's Castaway
series) and Scarp, famed for its ingenious 'Rocket Post'
experiment. While visiting these numerous islands, he met local
people and experienced the sometimes violent extremes of weather
such as when he was storm-bound in Stornoway for several days.
There are stories galore about the island people, snippets of
interesting history, legends and folklore, tales of the sea and
island life, the Hebridean fishermen and lighthouses - thus
uncovering another dimension of island life. Bob recounts his
travels and tales, some previously unpublished, in a relaxed and
highly-readable style. As well as being a unique travel book, it is
an insight into the rapidly-changing ways of island life and a
useful sailing guide to the Western Isles and anchorages in the
Hebrides. It would be of immeasurable help to sailors keen to
venture into some of the lesser-known sailing areas of Western
Scotland. This vivid and entertaining story of adventurous sailing
among Scotland's beautiful but challenging Western Isles will be
enjoyed by keen sailors and armchair travellers alike - a truly
memorable journey of over 1000 miles!
