Synopsis:
The story of an epic challenge to become the first dinghy sailor to navigate round all 250 islands in England and Wales. Ken's boat Yoda weighs as much as a labrador dog and is only twice the length of your bath-tub at home. By attempting to sail round all these challenging islands Ken raised a considerable amount for two Cancer charities, but this was not a straightforward adventure. Told with lots of onboard footage, maps and stunning photos, Ken re-tells his adventures in an open and honest way, bringing to life the history and story behind such intriguing places as Deadman’s Island and the literary idyll of Burgh Island.
The talk is given solely to help raise money for Cancer charities.
