In the summer of 1990, Silver Donald Cameron set sail with his wife Lulu and their 12-year old on Mark Patrick in their 27-foot cutter Silversark for a voyage of discovery: a circumnavigation of Cape Breton Island...
This account of their voyage is a unique opportunity to meet the extraordinary inhabitants of Cape Breton - prophets, liars, moonshiners, Micmac professors, Scottish shepherds, Israeli shipyard owners, excruciating poets, exquisite musicians, American Buddhists, Acadian fishermen, Bourbon soldiers, coal miners, and a man who raffles himself off at $25 a ticket - and to meet Silversark and the friends and family who built her during the Nine Year Seminar on Boatbuilding and Life.
