FROM THE BACK COVER

Two Bricks and a Tickey High is a memoir about growing up in Africa and leaving to sail around the world. It's about a life lived on the edge of exhilaration, desperation and catastrophe, from the highs and lows of racing sailboats through some of the world's most treacherous waters, to the poetic lyricism of a sunset over turquoise water and a white sandy beach with a pina colada waiting for you with your name on it.

Brian is a master storyteller and he will bring you on a journey following the prevailing winds, experiencing the adventures and misadventures that life inevitably dishes up, and finding love in a foreign land.

For anyone with a little wanderlust in their hearts, this book is for you.

It would be my pleasure and if it's a gift for someone else, please let me know what to say.

"From a childhood in South Africa to the Whitbread Round the World Race on the first, and by happenstance, only Soviet Union entry, Brian has led a life of adventure that can only be envied. A fascinating and very enjoyable read."

--- Sir Robin Knox Johnston - first person to sail single-handed, nonstop around the world

FROM THE BACK COVER

Pushing 50, unemployed and unemployable, professional sailor Brian Hancock found himself at a crossroads. After 30 years of racing sailboats around the world he was looking for a new challenge, one that drew upon his experience as a sailor, adventurer and author. He formed a partnership with an old friend and together they founded a new around-the-world race, the Portimão Global Ocean Race.

Lapping the Planet is a heartfelt account of what it takes to have a dream, to pursue it against all odds, and to prevail. It’s a journey that takes him back to his roots in South Africa. It takes him to the highs of success and the lows of betrayal.

Mostly its a voyage of self discovery.

Beautifully written, set against the backdrop of travel and adventure, this poignant memoir will have you laughing, crying and feeling inspired
