Über diesen Titel

When COVID-19 struck the UK, the government advised the over-70s to "shield" while the country went into lockdown. One old man went sailing instead. Single-handed and self-isolated, retired journalist John Passmore used the pandemic to achieve an ambition that had eluded him for 60 years. For 3,629 miles, he disappeared into a world of perfect solitude, adventure, and adversity, arriving back 42 days later, short of water and with shredded sails, to find himself celebrated on national radio as the embodiment of everybody’s lockdown dream. This is his story. It is also a story for anyone who ever thought a dream was unattainable.

I also treated myself to this audiobook on my way home from work in the evening. The best entertainment you can imagine when you're not at sea. I often had to laugh out loud. The subtle British humour, irony and self-criticism are simply delightful. Please keep writing!
