Produktinformationen zu „Travelling, Trawling and the Utterly Appalling (ePub)“
Deep-sea fishing, trawling through a cyclone, man-handling some of the world most deadly sharks and a strange yellow van! 'Travelling, Trawling and The Utterly Appalling' is a first hand account of a travellers fast-paced and unpredictable lifestyle over three incredible, action-packed years.
The author details the life threatening dangers he faced hanging from a tree-vine 150m above a rock face, single handed, in Thailand to the more humorous account of his adventures around Asia and Australia.
The people the author meets on his travels are almost as obscure as some of the situations he finds himself in. From sharing a cabin with a self-confessed gang member to living with a 'cougar' from Australia.
The book reveals the true extent of the hard work on-board a Gulf of Carpentaria prawn trawler. Renowned as one of the hardest fishing seasons in the world, the author describes the physical and mental torment of 52 hour shifts, deadly sea snakes, sting rays and crazy crew members. In-between his long stints at sea incident and intrigue are still very much at large...
The book shows the complete polarization of emotions in three years on the road and the water. The ecstasy and joy of travelling some of the world's most beautiful places contrasts starkly to the vigorous, relentless work at sea in minus 40 degree freezers and a plus 40 degree deck!
All in all, this is a light hearted and inspiring story of the opportunities that arise while completely out the so-called comfort-zone.

Autoren-Porträt von Ant Anderson
Ant Anderson travelled to the opposite side of the world from his home-country in search of pastures and experiences new. Faced with numerous situations ranging from the hilarious to the dangerous he embodies the phrase 'to write about life, you must first live it'. Not only does he encounter many of the perils of travelling he also thrusts himself fully into the dangerous line of work that is trawling. Completing three of the toughest fishing seasons in the world he proved his mettle with some of the seas toughest characters, not to mention facing the fury of Tropical Cyclone. He gives a first-hand account of the emotional roller-coaster that is prawn fishing in Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria. Transforming from a regular back-packer discovering the joys and dangers of Asia to becoming a renowned face in the Australian fishing industry he describes the people and places with a distinct light-hearted humor mixed with brutal honesty.
Fishing through a cyclone with crazed ex-convicts for ship-mates wasn't dangerous enough for Ant, he decided totry his hand in the rougher Indian Ocean and fish for a more deadly catch; shark.
Readers will revel in the 'happy-go-lucky' style of the adventure which leads to unbelievable circumstances from a 1500m race in a Chinese Athletics event watched by thousands of spectators, to hanging 150m above a rock face in Thailand clinging onto life with one hand. The fast-paced nature of the book will appeal to adrenalin seekers and adventurers alike!
