bigger than yourself

Two youth members of the crew of the schooner Trinovante tell their own story of the Tall Ships Race 2008 between Bergen in Norway and Den Helder in the Netherlands. To their amazement they find themselves winning their class until wind and ocean take a hand. It's a tale of gales, calms and a close brush with Aberdeen, with reflections on international friendships made and dreams of all-day breakfasts....
