Round Britain book finally available!
 
Well, it's taken over a year, but there's finally a book out on the 2008 Round Britain Powerboat Race!
Called "Chasing The Horizon" it's the story of how Derek Wynans, a freelance writer commissioned by a major boating magazine tried to cover the ten-day endurance race- despite losing his promised seat just before the start. Somehow he managed to thumb a lift all the way round, covering well over a thousand miles on no less than five totally different raceboats.
Mike Lloyd, the man who dreamed up & organised this epic event, seems to like it. He said: It made me laugh out loud many times and brought tears of emotion to my eyes at others. A great read for anyone with a feeling of the sea and an ounce of adventure in their soul."
Can't be all bad then!
Check out the website for more: www.chasingthehorizon.co.uk

Thanks for posting that link. Really cool video.

Hi Stuck,

Amazon is probably your best bet at the moment, but regular bookstores will stock it eventually. Try using www.bookfinder.com -I've found them really helpful in the past.
