What happens when you set off for a few days in a tiny mirror dinghy… and just keep going?
Join Ben Southall and Australian author, teacher and adventurer Sandy Mackinnon for the extraordinary story behind The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow.
With no engine and no grand plan, Sandy sailed and rowed from Shropshire, across the English Channel and through Europe’s waterways to the Black Sea! Along the way, he slept aboard his 11-foot boat, patched up holes and relied on the kindness of strangers to keep the adventure afloat.
Twenty-five years later, an unexpected message gave him the chance to do it all again, this time setting off from Romania towards Venice.
Whether you’re dreaming of a sailing adventure or curious about travelling a little slower, this conversation might have you asking Sandy’s favourite question: “How hard can it be?”
