 “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.
Roger Taylor was born by the sea, of sea-faring stock, and has been sailing for well over sixty years. He is a recipient of the Ocean Cruising Club's Jester Medal for 'an outstanding contribution to the art of single-handed sailing', and the Royal Cruising Club's Medal for Seamanship for 'exploits of legendary proportions'. His best-selling sailing books have been translated into French and Russian. Published February 2025. Pre-order now and secure your copy!
