Poles Get
Closer

Nick’s wife died suddenly aged forty eight and for him life was over. This is the story of how he built a new life and out of tragedy found happiness again.

It is a voyage of discovery covering thirty four thousand nautical miles, crossing three oceans and visiting five continents.

It is also a story about a group of young Polish girls, slightly mad and very brave who sailed their twenty eight foot yachts from Italy to Australia and completed their circumnavigation on Festina Lente.

It is a story of an unlikely romance which taught him how to be a teenager again!

She spoke little English, he spoke no Polish but they shared a love of sailing and of adventure and anyway who needs to talk!

Voyages of
The Discovery

Nick Pochin the owner and skipper of Festina Lente, a Discovey 55 circumnavigated the world with the Blue Water Rally 2005/2007 and wrote his first book “Poles Get Closer” about his life aboard Festina Lente and the 34,000 nautical miles he travelled.

Not content with this and at the age of 69 he set off to sail from Holyhead to Cape Horn and North to Alaska returning via the Panama Canal to the U.K.

Voyages of the Discovery is the story of his latest adventure covering 35,000 nautical miles and travelling from 56 South to 59 North against the prevailing winds and currents in six months.

Most people advised against it but then Nick is a tad stubborn!
