Northwest Passage Solo

Informationen zum Autor David Scott Cowper was the first man to sail around the world in both directions, which he followed by a solo circumnavigation under power. Both of these challenges pale in comparison to what he faced in his solo circumnavigation via the Northwest Passage. Elected Yachtsman of the year in 1990 in recognition of his achievements, he spends his time on land as a chartered surveyor in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Klappentext David Scott Cowper was the first man to circumnavigate the globe via the Northwest passage single-handed. He faced many dangers and delays including impenetrable pack-ice, leaks and the eventual sinking and salvage of his boat, but with his persevering spirit he was able to successfully complete his journey.David Scott Cowper was the first man to circumnavigate the globe via the Northwest passage single-handed.
