I followed several articles about Lorcha in the Toronto Star in the 80s. Then I moved to Quebec and lost touch. I was thrilled when a neighbour recently lent me this book and I enjoyed my armchair voyage with the family. Today it seems so much more real to me than the newspaper columns, as I had a chance to experience bad weather on a sailboat in the Caribbean Sea. I vowed never to return to sailing and so my greatest pleasure is reading about other people's adventures.

A tale of an extraordinary journey. The family share much of themselves in this book in telling of their experiences. If you are looking for inspiration for your own adventure or enjoy following the adventures of others then this is a good book.
