David Pyle

4.9/5 (13020 ratings)

Description:In the great tradition of British adventurers, David Pyle decided to undertake the longest open boat voyage ever - from England to Australia - with only one crew member. In the event his route took him part of the way overland (with the crew and the boat shipped on a lorry) to the point where the ancient riverway of the Tigris became navigable, and Hermes couldn't make the whole way on her own. But the whole trip was a remarkable achievement and the two sailors had some fantastic experiences. They were arrested in France, stormbound in the Mediterranean, shared a family meal on a reed hut on the banks of the Tigris, repaired their boat at the navy's base in Bahrain, were suspected of smuggling in India, made friends with pirates in Indonesia. All in all a challenging trip, with their final arrival in Darwin a triumph.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
