UK to Australia in an 18ft open boat

submitted by Buttle

2 months ago

YT: I recently read an incredible book about one man's adventure, attempting to take an 18ft open sailing boat from England to Australia in 1969. In it he mentioned a cameraman recording the voyage so I contacted him and asked him whether he still had the footage? The answer was 'incomplete, and without audio, but yes'. I asked whether he would be prepared to narrate it for me and he very kindly agreed. This then is his story - 'Australia The Hard Way'.

Some crazy old school adventure here. Amazing how much some of the world has changed since 1969.

This is awesome! Old school adventure. Reminded me of World Safari and Adventure Bound with Alby Mangels…a superb series if you ever get the chance to see it.
Here’s a taste…
