The Unlikely Voyage of Jack De Crow

A couple of quiet weeks sailing on the river Severn was the intention, ‘Somehow things got out of hand…’ Writes A J Mackinnon. ‘A year later I had reached Romania and was still going.’ Equipped with his cheerful optimism and a pith helmet, this Odysseus in a Mirror dinghy takes you with him from the borders of North Wales to the Black Sea-4900 kilometres over salt and fresh water, under sail, at the oars or at the end of a two rope-through twelve countries, 282 locks and numerous trials and adventures including an encounter with Balkan pirates. An epic voyage undertaken with courage and recounted with flair and humour.
