An exhilarating and deeply moving story of one man's attempt to sea
kayak the areas of the Shipping Forecast, perfect for fans of The
Salt Path and Attention All Shipping Foreword by Charlie Connelly,
author of Attention All Shipping The Shipping Forecast has been
described as the UK's national lullaby: a source of dependability
and calm in our often chaotic world, it has charmed millions of
listeners and aided generations of seafarers across the decades. No
stranger to weathering a storm after living with a rare
life-limiting condition and facing the death of his brother, avid
kayaker Toby Carr set out to explore the areas of the Forecast. On
a journey that took him to the harshest and most tranquil stretches
of our sea, Toby found the real people, places and stories behind
the familiar names and imagined environments of the well-loved BBC
broadcast. From the wildness and peace of the sea, looking back at
the land, Toby hoped to gain the strength and balance he knew
nature could provide and to discover what anchors us to each other.
Written by Toby's sister Katie from his extensive notes and
recordings after his untimely death, Moderate Becoming Good Later
is both an epic adventure - sometimes choppy, constantly moving -
and a personal voyage of discovery that includes old friends and
new, plenty of wildlife, and the ever-present sea.
