The Call of the Sagas

Written by Pekka Piri

Narrated by Jonathan Hutchings

A THRILLING TRUE STORY THAT MADE NAUTICAL HISTORY





In the year 1994, skipper Pekka Piri and navigator Matti Pulli piloted a 7-meter motorboat from Helsinki over the Baltic Sea, North Sea and North Atlantic to Iceland.





Both 48 years old, Piri had lost his career as a personnel manager, and Pulli had lost his ship, the freighter m/s Finnpolaris, in a wreck off the west coast of Greenland. Now what they both needed was space.





On May 17, 1994, they set out on a 2,200-mile voyage into the unknown. A journey that began with a skipper's dream and a navigator's faith in that dream led to unshakable trust in each other.

Reviews for The Call of the Sagas

[Paul Disney · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

What a boring account. At least it was an audio, that was a plus.
I listened to the end, looking for any welcoming storyline, It did not eventuate. Sorry, not for me.
