NZ Maritime Classic Set for it’s Third Reprint

Graeme Kendall’s non-fiction book, To the Ice and Beyond, hit New Zealand’s national news in 2016, after becoming the first Kiwi yachtsman to circumnavigate via the Northwest Passage solo.

Now Kendall’s achievements are in the process of becoming a Guinness World Record for being the first and fastest to complete the Northwest Passage solo, non-stop in 12 days.

Along with news of the Guinness World Records, To the Ice and Beyond, is set for its third reprint since being published two years ago. With thousands of copies of Kendall’s non-fiction adventure book sold nationwide and many a five-star review, it is quickly becoming known and loved as a maritime classic, and acclaimed as an extreme odyssey by many.

“When I first heard of Graeme’s novel I thought, oh no, not another sailing book. I didn’t have much knowledge or interest in learning about sailing. However after reading ‘To The Ice And Beyond’, I’d learnt so much,” explains one reader.

“The detailed and clear explanation of what something was, or why Graeme was choosing that particular device or route really opened my eyes. Once I got into it, I couldn’t put the book down."

To the Ice and Beyond, unravels Kendall’s 193-day solo circumnavigation of the globe while also accomplishing his boyhood dream of sailing through Arctic Northwest Passage solo in his sixties. The book opens up discussion for climate change and pollution, while also taking readers on an enthralling adventure and inspires them to never give up your dreams.
