Sailing Around the World the Wrong Way Volume VI: Turkey to the Red Sea

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 a lot of us have these dreams. Volume I covered the first part of his journey from Michigan to Trinidad. Volume II covered his journey from Trinidad to Spain and through France to Amsterdam and Scandinavia. Volume III covered the third part of his journey from Amsterdam around the British Isles, through the French canals to the Mediterranean, and down the coast of Italy. Volume IV covers his trip from Rome to Greece and through the Aegean Sea to Turkey. Volume V covers his trip to the Black Sea and back to Turkey. This Volume VI covers his trip from Turkey to Cyprus to Lebanon, to Israel to Egypt and the Red Sea 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 future trips that he takes as he proceeds on his voyage around the world the "wrong way" (against the prevailing winds).
