Sailing Around the World the Wrong Way

This book is the true story of one man"s attempt to live out his lifelong dream of sailing around the world to strange foreign ports in his own sailboat. Upon retiring from teaching school and farming in Michigan, Harold Knoll, Jr. left his forthcoming sedentary life, took his sailboat down to the Gulf, and headed around the world. Few men have the courage to do this, even though most of us have these dreams. Volume I covered the first part of his journey from Michigan to Trinidad. This Volume II covers the second part of his journey from Trinidad across the Atlantic Ocean to Spain and then through the French canals to Amsterdam, Netherlands, which he uses as a base to explore Scandinavia. Future volumes will continue his trip around the world. Captain Knoll, a true free spirit, picks up crew as he travels along. In the process, he meets many very fascinating people and has many thrilling, and sometimes humorous, experiences. Forthcoming volumes will cover the trips that he has taken back through the French Canal System, around the Mediterranean Sea, and through the Aegean Sea as he proceeds on his voyage around the world the "wrong way" (against the prevailing easterly winds).
