Celtic Gold: Voyage Around Ireland - Hardcover

When Peter Marshall set off to sail around Ireland in June 1995, he had never skippered a boat or sailed alone before. Along the way he met all manner of people: fishermen, musicians, sailors, as well as Naomi James, the first woman to circumnavigate the world, and Charles Haughey, former Prime Minister of Ireland. Part travel book, part autobiography, this is the story of an extraordinary journey. His voyage on Celtic Gold proved exhilarating and challenging, both physically and spiritually, as he encountered savage coastlines, faraway islands and sheltered bays, the calm of the great loughs and the wild fury of the Atlantic Ocean.
