Description of this Book
When Ben Tucker and his kid brother Matt decided to sail south looking for icebergs in Ben's small home-built kiwi yacht, their father Jon was allowed to come along as their cabin-boy, on a promise of good behaviour. The unfolding adventure took them through thick pack ice to become trapped at the windiest location on the planet, a remote location in East Antarctica. Snow Petrel is proof of what ordinary people can achieve on a minimal budget. Recently released in Tasmania and New Zealand, it has been immensely popular with both sailing and non-sailing readers. "...an exceptional work by a gifted writer.... The story is so compelling that one wishes it not to end." (Janet Upcher-reviewer
