40,000Nm,  a circumnavigation of the world, completed double-handed, in a decked in, dug-out, red cedar canoe. The bare facts on the page already seem impossible.

Now, I can't stop stop wondering how on earth he did what he di...

When I think of Adlard Coles, I think of the publishing house, but the fact is that the person behind that same institution was first off a small craft sailor just like you and I. This, his first book, is the tale of his first ever, long-distance cruise. What a career lay ahead of him! Despite not really knowing exactly what they were doing, Coles and his crew ventured across the storm-tossed Nort...

Capt Joshua Slocum is famous among sailors for his single handed circumnavigation, West around the world between 1895 and 1898. No one had ever completed such a voyage alone and Slocum's book about his adventure became an instant classic, compared by some to David Henry Thoreau's 'Walden'. The real life character behind the myth, was and still is very much a mystery only compounded by the fact tha...
