Viking Voyage

Viking Voyage

by W Hodding Carter (Author)

Synopsis

W. Hodding Carter cannot sail, hates to be cold, and panics when he's lost. So why did he devote three years of his adult life, not to mention a small fortune, to dodging polar bears and icebergs on an open-decked wooden ship resembling an oversized canoe? He'd always wanted to be a Viking. bsessed with Leif Eriksson and his triumphant voyage a thousand years ago from Greenland to North America, Carter hatched the foolhardy idea of re-enacting the voyage in a replica of the precarious Viking cargo ship known as a 'knarr'. Never mind that he had a pregnant wife and twin daughters. Carter was going to make it happen. nthralling, inspiring, and occasionally hair-raising.
