Cork Boat - John Pollack (CD)
Title: [Title] Title: Corkboat Author: John Pollack Genre: Fiction Format: CD, 5 CDs, 6 hrs (Abridged) Synopsis: No synopsis available Review: Library Journal Pollack worked as a foreign correspondent, campaign consultant, and congressional speechwriter for ten years after college. In 1999, Pollack gave in to what he calls his sense of whimsy and quit his job in Washington to concentrate full time on building a boat made from wine corks. Four years and 165,321 corks later, he and buddy Garth Goldstein sailed Cork Boat, as it was named, down Portugal's Douro River under the sponsorship of Cork Supply USA. Using sails and oars, the pair traveled from Barca de Alva, near the Spanish border, to the ancient city of Porto, where the river empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The first half of the story is devoted to the building of the boat, the second half to the journey down the river. As much a memoir as a travel book, Cork Boat tells of relationships made and strained, dreams realized, and adventures made possible through team effort. Suitable for larger public libraries and boating collections.
