Pete was clinically dead for three days. When he woke up, he decided to sail around Britain.
Seven years later, he set off from Suffolk with a 45kg Bernese Mountain Dog, a partner who raced yachts but had never owned a dog, and an AI chatbot that had never felt the sea move beneath it.
Dogsail is the story of their 1,800-mile circumnavigation: 46 legs, 130 days, and every headland, tidal gate, and harbour argument in between. It's a book about resilience, stubbornness, and what happens when you trust a machine with your passage plan but not your instincts.
The chatbot was confidently wrong about tides. The dog rated every harbour on a paw scale. And somewhere between Shotley and the Scillies, a crew that had no business working discovered that they did.
