| Publisher Description: Open this book to come aboard a small sailboat and take an eighteen hundred mile voyage along the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, back in 1981. It's a story about navigating a rocky coastline defined by storms and fogs, with musings about harbors, history, people, fish, seabirds, starlight, smuggling, mal de mer, shellfish, tides, whales, and other encounters along the way. Simply, it is a time-framed account to be shared with anyone who might like to take a virtual cruise with the author along a challenging but delightful section of the North Atlantic coast; a tale of many disparate encounters, all woven together by the common thread of what a nineteenth century captain might well describe as, "running down an easting." |
