Confronting Poseidon
|
|
|
Clive Tully tells a remarkable first hand account of the struggles faced by the crew of Spirit of Cardiff in his new book Confronting Poseidon -- Around the World against the odds.
A fascinating story of dogged determination to carry on when giving up would have been so much easier. This marathon journey was beset by problems; illness, injury, pirates, corrupt officials, threats and intimidation. Their fourth crew member jumped ship in Singapore, guaranteeing a lack of funds to bring the boat home, and a number of mechanical problems threatened to end the record attempt in its tracks. Then there was the weather . . .

|
|
|
Beating the Big One is the story of the first high-latitude crossing of the Atlantic by open boat in 1,000 years.
Four men, a twenty four foot boat and four thousand miles of open sea. Add fierce storms, impenetrable fog, enormous icebergs and inaccurate weather forecasts and you've got the makings of a serious drama! Read about the preparations for this incredible adventure, and re-live it yourself with a blow by blow account of each day of the voyage.
Beating the Big One by Tony Holkham, paperback with colour photos.
