Description
Sea kayaking the areas of the Shipping Forecast is an exhilarating and deeply moving story of one man's attempt to explore the UK's national lullaby. Avid kayaker Toby Carr, who has faced his own share of challenges, including a rare life-limiting condition and the death of his brother, set out to discover the real people, places, and stories behind the familiar names and imagined environments of the well-loved BBC broadcast.
Written by Toby's sister Katie from his extensive notes and recordings after his untimely death, Moderate Becoming Good Later is both an epic adventure and a personal voyage of discovery. Along the way, Toby encountered old friends and new, plenty of wildlife, and the ever-present sea, which he hoped would provide the strength and balance he sought. This is a story of nature, of people, and of the connections that bind us.
