Ice!
...a classic tale ranking with the greatest seafaring adventures.  --Western Morning News, August 1996...one of the classic sea tales of all times.  --Sailing Inland & Offshore, April 1996Another magnificent tale of derring-do from the indomitable Welsh adventurer....As one critic put it: 'Ice! is to the wide waters of the world what the exploits of that other Jones chap, Indiana, is to the wide screen...only for real!  --Yachting World, 1996His tales are richly illuminated with nautical history, explanations of the role of craft as diverse as the Norwegian knarr and the Eskimo umiak.
