SAILING AWAY FROM WINTER, starts on July 21, 2004, when Silver Donald Cameron and his wife, Marjorie Simmins, set sail from DāEscousse, in Cape Breton Island, toward the white sand beaches and palm trees of the nearest tropical islands. It had been quite a trip...and these are the stories!
They were sailing an old Norwegian-built ketch namedĀ Magnus. Accompanying them was their dog, Leo the Wonder Whippet.Leo was thirteen. The skipper was an old-age pensioner. His youthful mate was new to the cruising life. Yet 236 days later, with more than 3,000 nautical miles behind them, this distinctly trepid crew rowed ashore in Little Harbour, in the Bahamas, heading for Peteās Pub, a palm-thatched tiki bar on the beach.
