Back in the early months of the new millennium, travel author and RFYC member Nick Thorpe set off on an experimental voyage to Easter Island on a slowly-sinking boat made of bundled reeds.

On Thursday 21st he will recount the hair-raising details of his 2500-mile voyage, as well as subsequent boat-hitching circumnavigation of Scotland and how themes of improvised navigation and intentional drift continue to inspire his life and work. www.nickthorpe.co.uk

The bar will be open from 19:00 hrs with the talk commencing at 19:30 hrs.

As ever, if you are a non-member interested in coming to this talk, please contact admin@royalforth.org to enquire about getting on the guest list.
