Beschreibung
"An inspiring tale, brimming with can-do and positivity. " - Tristan Gooley, author of The Natural Navigator. "A tender, human adventure that reveals what can unfold when you honour a promise and keep paddling forwards. " - Alastair Humphreys, author of Microadventures. From the bestselling author of Moderate Becoming Good Later. comes the hopeful, honest and humorous story of one woman's attempt to finish the challenge left to her by her brother: to sea kayak in every area of the Shipping Forecast. Katie had never been in a sea kayak, but when her brother Toby died in the middle of his challenge to paddle in every area of the Shipping Forecast, she decided to honour his memory by completing his adventure. On a journey that takes her from the monotonies of motherhood in urban Barcelona to the far reaches of the Shipping Forecast through the wilds of the British Isles, Katie is forced to face her past and question her present, exploring the loss of her family members as well as her own identity. After two years of inelegant paddling and potentially worse parenting, can she complete the challenge. Thundery at Times. is not a story of battling high seas or completing daring tasks, but one of making your own rules and living life to the full. It is about finding joy and hope in nature, motherhood and middle age, in nurturing your own adventures and embracing connection and peace. It is a story of female resilience in the face of adversity; of staring down grief and asking, what's possible from here. As seen on the BBC Travel Show.
