    The Slow Grey Fox Jumps Over the QueaZy Package Tourists

    Written by Roger Worrod

    Narrated by Roger Worrod

    ()

    About this audiobook

    This is an unabridged diary kept by actor/writer/director Roger Worrod from January to March 2008, when he was the only passenger on the Grey Fox, a 192 meter-long mixed-cargo boat, from Belgium to South Africa.

    He went around South Africa by train and on a return trip with the Grey Fox to the Netherlands and on to Switzerland. This was a journey through space and time to re-find his father 60 years after his first voyage to Cape Town on the Winchester Castle, in 1948.
