In 1974, 22-year-old virgin sailor Mick escapes unemployment, family and 3-day-week London to become a deckhand on a small yacht, Gay Gander, setting out to sail the Atlantic from Englands West Country, via the Canaries, to Antigua in the Caribbean.





Under the eye of an unfathomable skipper, John Francis Kearney, and his formidable sailing companion Carola (both escaping from a rain-sodden Ireland and broken marriages), Mick has to learn sailing, table manners, bridging the generation gap and getting along with Stryder, the Russian Blue ships cat.





Set in a time when the oceans were plastic-free, and a compass, clock and sextant the only tools of navigation, then Mick finds love, gets marooned, almost drowns and jumps ship to escape mortal danger in the Caribbean.





Long Lost Log should be fiction but is the true story of a voyage of discovery that Mick against all odds survived to tell this remarkable and hilarious tale. In charting his adventure of a lifetime, the author lost his log book until fifty years later the diary surfaces out of the blue during an old girlfriends attic clearout. This witty, well-paced rite of passage is full of freshness, sexual impulse and a clash of values. The addition of 70s hippiedom at the many ports-of-call catches the history of the day. Long Lost Log is a voyage of discovery into the price of being free.





His inner and outer journey combines danger with the unexpected, the erotic and the comic. This resonantly related rite of passage leaps from the page like the curious whale that once disturbed the narrators watch.

Arvustused

The vivacity is all in the quick phrasing of extraordinary things...





Prof of Literature at Galway University The Long Lost Log is an entertaining account of crossing the Atlantic in 1974. Those who have ever been young, muddled and gullible will enjoy this book.

Julia Jones,

Yachting Monthly A vivid, spellbinding account of a true-life adventure, packed with insights into the human condition this witty, well-paced rite of passage is full of freshness, sexual impulse and a clash of values. It is a rollicking tale written with verve, keen observations and sparkling with wry humour. Long Lost Log is a period piece for the nostalgic traveller and the armchair adventurer of any age.

Kevin Cannon,

Kevin's Book Reviews ... laced with some witty exchanges amongst the crew and some ribald adventures ashore by the writer ... in early September 1974, Mick finds himself literally up the creek without a paddle.

Tom O'Sullivan,

Irish Examiner Chapman Pincher has an ease with words, crafting his memories of sailing across the Atlantic into a thrilling page turner, peppered with humour, insight, beauty and the eager hope of a youth finding his way in the 70s. As well as the physical book, I was also able to listen to the audiobook recorded by the author ... Chapman Pincher has a way of telling a story with not only the written word, but a method of delivery which leaves you chuckling away out loud on the bus much to the mystery of your fellow traveller. Each character is deftly spun and each encounter and vignette in this adventure of a first-time sailor is expertly told.

Rose Hall,

Goodreads a book for those who have ever been young, muddled or wanting adventure ... Long Lost Log: Diary of a Virgin Sailor is witty, charming, and proof that some risks are worth taking ... A beautifully crafted book, multi-layered and bravely written, Long Lost Log has many interesting insights into the skills and craft of sailing and the broader history of the day.
