In August 2010, Jeremy Burfoot and his team headed off from London in an attempt to ride a Seadoo jet ski all the way to Sydney, Australia. This is the story of the preparation leading up to the attempt and the adventure itself. It was a 'never a dull moment' adventure. Anyone interested in the river route from the North Sea to the Black Sea via the Rhine river, the Rhine-Main Danube Canal and the Danube river should read this book. Anyone interested in a long-distance jet ski or personal watercraft adventures should, likewise, find this book a great source of information. The book includes good descriptions of travel by water through countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Ukraine. The adventure also included travel on the Black Sea, through the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea.

His and his companions' Jet Ski attempt captures the imagination of even the mildest of adventurers.
A Damned good read. (Beware: Not politically correct)
