Chasing Tides: Round Ireland by Kayak: A Journey on a Shoestring in the Days Before Smartphones - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

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, carrying everything needed in a sea kayak, the journey depended on paper charts, judgement, local knowledge and the 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 getting lost was a real possibility, information was scarce, and the next stage of the journey often had to be worked out along the way.

It is a story of sea kayaking, friendship, uncertainty, stubbornness and the simple freedom of travelling with no more than you can carry.
