The Untold Voyage Cover Illustration


FROM THE BACK COVER:


One of the best sailing writers on this planet.”

Keiran Flatt, Editor, Yachting Monthly



 ‘There was, however, one voyage… and what happened on that voyage was so far beyond the compass of what I thought possible that I have never, until this moment, said or written a single word about it.’


Solo sailor Roger D. Taylor has written many books about his voyages to the Arctic. Some years ago, he made a voyage about which, until now, he has remained silent. What happened on that voyage was so unexpected and so devastating that Taylor threw all his logbooks and records overboard while still in the Greenland Sea. It was a voyage he wanted to erase forever from his memory.

Time has now healed the traumas of that fateful passage, and Taylor has decided that the moment has come to relate what happened. Using just his memory, he has reconstructed the story of that summer cruise to the Far North and the terrible events that blighted it. In telling this untold story, the author hopes to lay to rest the ghosts which have haunted him for so long.
