Last man across the atlantic

Just read htis highly entertaining book by the broadcaster paul heiney. The journalistic style is very readable and i couldn't stop until i had read it all the way through. Except once to annoyingly go to work.
Having read one summer's grace by his wife, libby purvis, it appears to come through fairly strongly that he is the grumpy old fart she claimed he was and she is a star. Sounds familiar to my household too. My wife is a star and the rest...
Anyway good read, quite short.

i will second this one. written in a very modest way You have to read between the lines to see the real Paul Heiney I think.

Excellent read. A good illustration of the 'behind every successful man . . . ' axiom, and a very honest account too.

And a great example of "if you don't get off your a*se, the dream will stay a dream". After reading the book I was inspired to investigate the OSTAR, but after adding up what I would have to fork out for the entry and getting my boat up to spec (I stopped counting at £14k), it will have to stay a dream for a while longer /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
