The Cornish Viking: Volume 1: From Rat Race To Tide Race

This is the first volume of an autobiography like no other. Fans of travel in remote places will be captivated by this book. The series will move from this first volume in little-known Viking islands off the far north of the UK to subsequent ones in an African war zone, exploring a largely unknown African waterway, travel by canoe down a remote river in Central America, and running the fleet of ships on Lake Malawi. In the conclusion the author is knighted by an African queen for his work in Africa. This volume follows him through days on large ships and then getting trapped in the rat race in London. With his family, he escapes to the Orkney and Shetland Islands and pioneers new ferry services. The reader glimpses a rapidly dying culture in remote places that are bastions of eccentricity. There are larger than life characters, raging tides, wild weather and family life in stunning locations among warm people who are full of humor and erudition. To quote from the book-hold on tight. It's going to be a bumpy ride!
