About this listen
★★★★★ "One of the finest pieces of writing today... a true masterpiece."
★★★★★ "In his debut travel book Tom Dymond has triumphed. You don’t have to be hooked on sailing to revel in the tales of two young men’s round the world voyage of self discovery."
★★★★★ "I feel as if I have just circumnavigated the world with Tom and James. A great read! Some passages were so funny I had to put the book down to recover."
★★★★★ "Tom writes with such deftness that every chapter takes you to more than just a new, richly described locality on a map; he immerses you in emotion, humour, and meditation as he experiences different countries, cultures, and environments."
★★★★★ "It has the hallmarks of a great travel memoir, authentically told, and able to change the reader as it did the young adventurers."
★★★★★ "I don't sail, know nothing about boats, and wouldn't even choose to be taken out for the day on one, but this had me hooked from the start."
★★★★★ "Tom has penned a great story and this is not your typical sailing book. This book is appealing for anybody that has a dream of adventure and wanderlust."
★★★★★ "Probably the next Salt Path!"
Three vast oceans, two young men and one dubious idea – to sail around the world.
When a sailboat barely bigger than a bathtub pottered into the English Channel, James and Tom began the adventure of a lifetime. In their little boat Blue Eye they set sail, ladened with the notion that happiness and freedom loitered just over the horizon. And yet as they journeyed between continents and across oceans, they found they were still anchored to their old unsatisfied selves.
Hampered not only by the storms of the Atlantic Ocean and the pirates of the Red Sea, the craving nature of the human mind also threatens their bid to circumnavigate the world. From the Caribbean to the Suez Canal, James and Tom chase one sunset after the next, convinced a treasure trove of fulfilment lies waiting beyond the horizon. What will it take for them to discover that the sea is not always bluer on the other side?
Hooked on the Horizon is Tom Dymond’s travel memoir of sailing Blue Eye around the world. If you like being transported across oceans, escaping to far-flung paradises, and finding humour and philosophy in between, then you’ll love the story of Blue Eye’s adventure.
