Moderate Becoming Good Later is a wonderfully salty adventure, a quixotic odyssey driven by equal parts grit and good humour around the stormy shores of western Europe. But what really elevates this above other travellers' tales is the astonishing and moving story of the book's completion - a remarkable collaboration across the ultimate gulf. * Tim Hannigan, travel, nature and history writer * The perfect book for our times: from tragedy and stormy seas, come hope, connection, and elemental awe. Exceptionally beautiful and moving, a book that conjures connection to people, places and the ocean with the immediacy, grace and clarity of a kayak cutting through sea spray. - David Gange, historian and author of The Frayed Atlantic Edge We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. Heartbreaking, and utterly wonderful. A journey that had to be made, and a story that had to be told. - Alex Bescoby, adventurer and author What a special book. A manifesto for living, loving and laughing full-heartedly, whatever life's storms and forecasts bring. A guide and companion for us all, whether we are embarking on voyages of our choosing or dealing with waves and storms dealt to us. - Sarah Outen, adventurer and authorAround the age of 12, Toby and Marcus were told they were unlikely to live to 30, although both lived full lives beyond this terrible prognosis. Southwest 6 to gale 8, becoming cyclonic severe gale 9 to violent storm 11, perhaps hurricane force 12 later. No stranger to weathering a storm after living with a rare life-limiting condition and facing the death of his brother, avid kayaker,Toby Carr set out to explore the areas of the Forecast. On a journey that took him to the harshest and most tranquil stretches of our sea, Toby found the real people, places and stories behind the familiar names and imagined environments of the well-loved BBC broadcast. But it’s also a very healthy thing to do in a way. He died of cancer which can be a horrible, long, drawn-out end. A mesmerising and poignant story that shares how the sea can bring together people, places and purpose. This is a must-read book not just for sea kayakers, but for anyone looking for inspiration to make the most out of life. - Doug Cooper, author of Scottish Sea Kayaking and coach

Moderate Becoming Good Later by Katie Carr, Toby Carr

While here she held a book signing at Walkers, in Oakham, followed by a launch event at Rutland Sailing Club. The person disappears or fades away and it’s not very nice when they were such a strong personality. The sort of adventure I've often dreamed of late at night, with additional layers of poignancy and love. * Alastair Humphreys, adventurer and author *Toby moved to Cornwall on his return to the UK and in the summer of 2020 completed the Cornish legs before intending to finish the job the following year. Toby's book also centres on the people he met, like these fellow kayakers on the Isle of Wight It's rare to read a book that links place and motivation so clearly. Toby's story of seizing life's opportunities despite obstacles should inspire all of us to not let life pass us by. And the love of his sister Katie in finishing this story for Toby is profoundly moving. - Ash Bhardwaj, travel journalist and broadcaster

We caught up with Toby in the autumn of 2018, listening to stories of the journey’s past and future plans. In May 2019, he was the main speaker at the Jersey Sea Kayaking Symposium, from where he headed out on the next part of his journey with his good friend Michal.
