This book is a testimony to what the tide has generated in my life. It is a way to “save,” in a matter of speaking, the ocean patterns as part of my life, currents and countercurrents, the storms, and, above all, the transformation and continuous flow. Rising Tides is not only the recount of each of the Oceans Seven Challenge swims: the English Channel, the Catalina Channel, the Gibraltar Strait, the Ka-iwi Channel, The North Channel, the Tsugaru Strait and the Cook Strait, but also the recount of many other swims I have done in my life, emotional swims through grieveing moments, ...

Musings and more written over the course of a year, month by month. What is it like to go through life as a poet, or to view every day things in a poetical way? Excerpts from the book: "There’s more than one kind of ukulele. Tuning one of them is just like tuning some of the strings on a guitar. All of them: soprano, baritone, pineapple sound different. " "Ice doesn’t melt in the shade even when it gets warmer. " "Everyone is a winner! I got a winning flyer for a new car or $25K and another one in a different box where I get mail! Yay! I’m a winner!

From Year of the Dog: "To say that dogs saved my life may sound trite to some. It may sound like I am overstating to others – or being dramatic. But if not for the dream of dogs, the company of dogs, the help of dogs, the beauty of the dogs, I am sure I would be here today, but I am not sure I would be alive." "Have you ever had a problem so large, so confounding, sitting right in front of you that it just didn't seem possible to solve, ever?" "I relaxed a little and tried to enjoy the scenery through some of the race – which was more like just a tour for me now since I was so far ...

In 1870, a man took a bet. He said he could sail a twenty-foot yawl across the Atlantic. East to west. The hard way. Most men would have laughed. He didn’t. He just went. The Ocean Wager tells the true story of Captain Nikola Primorac, a quiet sailor from Dubrovnik who risked everything to cross the sea in a boat smaller than most lifeboats. No engine. No charts worth trusting. No backup. Just sails, salt, and the will to endure. This is not a tale of glory. There are no parades here. No medals. Just storms and silence. Just two men and a dog, soaked and half-mad, crawling across a grey ...

WALK MAGAZINE SAID OF JOHN BAINBRIDGE's BOOK OF TRESPASS - "On a vagabonding tour through Britain’s most delightful countryside and forbidden tracts, Bainbridge charts the history of access and assesses the present state of the law. Villainous landowners feature; so do the likes of GHB Ward and CEM Joad, calling at rallies for access to mountain and moor. Gamekeepers, spring-guns and mass trespasses also get a look-in. Redolent of country air, with nature and archaeology dealt with in graphic style, the book evokes the age of campaigns before words like ‘stakeholder’ and ‘...

No phones…no running water…no electricity… As the float plane flew away… Leaving me stranded with a total stranger…In the middle of nowhere…I thought… Shit! What am I doing out here?

There was a boy with one leg running across the country. I had no idea what I was getting into when I went to work as a timber cruiser working on remote fly-ins in northern Ontario. Horny moose, ball lightning, way too friendly skunks, bears, ...
