Amazon Storyteller finalist Jono Dunnett embarks upon the World's Longest Windsurf

This sailing adventure begins deep within the Arctic Circle and becomes the World's Longest Windsurfing Journey (Guinness Record). Dunnett navigates through wilderness and carries his supplies in a watertight barrel. Many boundaries of the Seas of the Atlantic Ocean are crossed, and these provide structure to the narrative as the journey tacks towards Asia. What started as an expedition becomes a voyage, and two years later it has become an odyssey.

Gale force winds, tumultuous seas and fearsome currents test him and his craft to their limits. The reader comes aboard for this sometimes traumatic ride, but also experiences his elation upon reaching land, and the peak experiences of full immersion in nature.

At sea, Dunnett could not be more alone, but on land he finds the best of humanity.

Industry Reviews

'...this is more than a tale of physical endurance, skill and mental toughness on a par with the great explorers of the early 20th century, the prose is so good that reading it is not far off an epic poem. His self-sufficiency on a vessel that promises so little but which, in his visionary hands, delivers so much, is an inspiration.'
