Beschreibung
In the summer of 1997, Pat Rodgers set out to kayak around Ireland.
There were no smartphones, no weather apps and no easy way to know what lay ahead. Travelling on a shoestring and carrying everything he needed in his kayak, he relied on paper charts, judgement, local knowledge and a willingness to keep going when plans fell apart.
What began as a shared adventure gradually became something more personal, as Pat made his way around some of the wildest and most exposed stretches of the Irish coast - through fog, headwinds, long crossings, unexpected encounters and days when the weather made progress impossible.
Based on the diary he kept at the time, Chasing Tides is the story of a 1,500-kilometre journey around Ireland - and of a very different era of adventure, when being stranded was a real possibility and the next stage often had to be worked out along the way.
