About this listen

In A Foolish Voyage, Neil Hawkesford gives us a remarkable tale not just about sailing but about life. Good times and bad. Here we learn what happens at the very limits of physical, emotional, and mental endurance. Here we also learn how personal tragedy can lead to a life-changing discovery, the realization that hidden deep inside all of us is the perseverance and passion needed for achieving life's greatest goals.

Neil's account of how he found happiness owning and caring for a small sailing boat is a motivating reminder of how little we really need in life to become happy.

A great listen and a reminder of sailing happiness

A thoroughly good story, the author never gave up his dreams. It is a story of overcoming negatives for positives.

Really enjoyed this tale and the narration was good, but the consistent mangling and mispronunciation of place names and sailing terms was a frustrating distraction.

Great sailing story but…

Struggled to deal with the author's inadequacies and the narrator's ludicrous pronunciation of even non-sailing terms.
