Please accept my apologises if this group does not like advertising and

book just published from Dag Pike. Its his autobiography - Challenges.

Going to sea as a boy and coming back as a man. Braving fearsome storms
to protect and save lives. Taking on the mighty ocean and taming it.
Breaking just about every record there is on water and coming back for
more.
Dag Pike's skills as a navigator are his biggest plus, luring him
into the ultra-fast world of offshore powerboat racing. Carlo Bonomi,
Fabio Buzzi, Daniel Scioli, he raced with many of the big names, his
expertise helping to break records and win World Championships. He was
navigator aboard Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Challenger for her
trans-Atlantic speed record attempt when she sank just 140 miles short
after hitting something in the water. One year later he was the
navigator again when Virgin Atlantic Challenger II smashed the record
held for more than thirty years.

Rescued nine times and himself a rescuer many times more, his favourite
challenge has yet to be realised - navigating the fastest boat around
the world.

Available September.
