“One of the best sailing writers on this
planet.”
Keiran Flatt, Editor, Yachting Monthly ‘There
was, however, one voyage… and what happened
on that voyage was so far beyond the compass
of what I thought possible that I have
never, until this moment, said or written a
single word about it.’
Solo sailor Roger D. Taylor has written may
books about his voyages to the Arctic. Some
years ago, he made a voyage about which, until
now, he has remained silent. What happened on
that voyage was so unexpected and so
devastating that Taylor threw all his logbooks
and records overboard while still in the
Greenland Sea. It was a voyage he wanted to
erase forever from his memory.
Time has now healed the traumas of that fateful passage, and Taylor has decided that the moment has come to relate what happened. Using just his memory, he has reconstructed the story of that summer cruise to the Far North and the terrible events that blighted it. In telling this untold story, the author hopes to lay to rest the ghosts which have haunted him for so long. A
