Funny, gritty, and always painfully honest, Chasing The Horizon is one man's true account of the hardships and horrors faced as he took part in one of the toughest offshore endurance races ever held- the 2008 Round Britain Powerboat Race. Covering the race for one of the UK's biggest boating magazines, Derek Wynans thought he had it made.

But with just hours to go, the plan sank without a trace- leaving him no option but to beg total strangers for a lift. So began one of the toughest challenges the author ever had to face- from being abused by parrots to being propositioned by a Polish pimp, for Derek Wynans the easy part was racing across the tumultuous sea for six hours at a stretch.
