When a buyer was found for the late Ian Gordon Stott's beloved cutter ketch, the only drawback was the Canadian winter. Even so, Ian's son Glenn took on the task of delivering the ship from its home in Nova Scotia to New Jersey. Sailing the north Atlantic during the late fall is not for amateurs but Glenn, a former search-and-rescue pilot as well as a seasoned captain, took on the journey with a spirit of adventure. An expert crew set sail, only to encounter enormous walls of water seeming twenty feet high, a hurricane, and much more. A special "For Mariners Only" chapter details the ship's stellar specs. Full color photos illustrate this stirring memoir.
