Torn between two countries, I've always felt like a fish out of water. I've come to love Canada which has been my home for decades. The vast distances, the quiet lakes and forests, the unspoiled wilderness have become precious to me, yet part of me has never been able to completely abandon my English roots. I ache for the old churches, the friendly pubs, the tiny, winding backroads. When I'm in Canada my thoughts often turn towards England, yet when I visit England I pine for Canada's wilds. I feel tugged in both directions, my mind hovering somewhere in mid-Atlantic.

To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world but content with one's own thoughts and company. Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them.

At age 22, Charlie Walker left home in search of adventure. Fleeing the boredom that comes with comfort, he set off on a secondhand bicycle. The aim was simple: to pedal to the furthest point in each of Europe, Asia, and Africa. He didn’t train or plan. He just started. The journey was an escape from an unremarkable existence, a pursuit of hardship, and a chance to shed the complacency of middle England. From the brutality of winter on the Tibetan plateau, to the claustrophobia of the Southeast Asian jungle, the quest provided Charlie with ample opportunity to test his mettle.

With directness and poetic economy Brait takes the listener into the life of the Bay and into the complex relationships that affect oysters and those who make their living from them.
