Kim Sturgess was a weekend sailor: he enjoyed club racing and
several brief sailing holidays, but had never attempted a
substantial expedition. Reaching the age of fifty focused the mind
and he decided to sail around Britain. While many cruising sailors
would not contemplate a 1900 nautical mile voyage, he broke the
voyage into a series of day sails, making it an achievable ambition
for him, largely single-handed, and for many other weekend sailors
who might dream of sailing around their home island. This book
tells the quirky traveller's narrative of the voyage and visits to
forty-eight 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. But
don't expect to always agree with him - he has been described as
"the Jeremy Clarkson of yachting"!
