David Temple was educated at Ackworth in Yorkshire, graduated as a Civil Engineer from Loughborough University and married Hazel. As a Norfolk man he successfully ran the family business of Chartered Surveyors in Norwich. Learning to sail in Blakeney off the North Norfolk coast he developed his skills in Dartmouth cruising the Channel Islands, south coast before crossing the Atlantic several times. The most difficult passage of all was navigating and sailing safely the British Isles in his 80's.
“David exudes a passion and drive that belies his age; but this book is not about stereotypes and is not for naysayers. It looks challenge in the face and stares it out. Ultimately this is a journey about a man engaging in a life-long passion for sailing; a husband showing support and love for his wife and a determined and impassioned fundraiser. This trio of attributes is an energised combination. David invites you into his journey as a sailor engaging - in a physical, mental and emotional adventure.” - Rebecca Verling
