What happens when a guy dreams big – too big – and figures he can pull it off? An unforgettable adventure. Hodding Carter decides he can follow in the footsteps of Leif Erikson and retraces his route from Greenland to Vinland in a replica Viking ship. What happens is mayhem and hijinks, but nevertheless succeeds. Carter writes with (sometimes bawdy) humor and honesty about his (mis)adventures.
