The Reluctant Messenger

At 84 years of age, Robert and his wife Penny agreed that they had earned a quieter life in their little Cornish Cottage, but that was soon to change dramatically, following a detailed fantasy adventure vision which came to Robert whilst relaxing in the bath one winter’s day.

He was to attempt to become the oldest person ever to sail solo around the world and this nonsensical idea received an immediate “That’s never going to happen, is it?” But one by one, their objections to this fantasy evaporated and it became reality.

A brilliant Israeli scientist, whom they had met years ago, left them in his will, Telvah, a 43-foot yacht, but it came with conditions, one of which was to pass onto Mossad secret plans which were hidden somewhere on the boat. These would quite possibly make all other weapons redundant, and many rogue nations and terrorist organisations wanted them. Unfortunately, no-one could find their plans, resulting in Rob and Telvah setting off on their unlikely adventure, protected by Mossad and secret agents from other friendly nations. He soon found out, that he was a prime target, to be killed or taken hostage and was in imminent danger everywhere he sailed.

A bigger picture was also revealed, a message of “Hope Not Hate”, bringing people together in union with this little boat and its “Reluctant Messenger”!
