À propos du livre
An adventure-packed, 10-year voyage on Erasmus, their 35’ cutter-rigged aluminum sailboat, took David and Helga Zimmerly from Ottawa, Canada to Phuket, Thailand. After a drama-filled Atlantic crossing to Scotland, they traversed the Mediterranean and lived and worked in Turkey, Cyprus, Sudan, Kenya, Mozambique and Sri Lanka.
In this volume, the first of four, David and Helga describe upending their settled urban lives to go cruising. They recount their early days of learning to sail and their extraordinary voyage up the Labrador coast to the Arctic, where they wintered over in a small Inuit settlement before heading off to Greenland.
In its 170 lavishly illustrated pages, Volume 1 of The Voyage of Erasmus is packed with humour, great stories, stunning photographs, and charts. David and Helga’s tale is a heady mix of the familiar and the exotic, the idyllic and the life-threatening, the splendours of the wilderness and the warmth of strangers. It will delight seasoned sailors and armchair travelers alike.

À propos du créateur

Perth, Ontario Canada
Helga Zimmerly - The ten years David and I spent on Erasmus, cruising halfway around the world, were filled with beauty, terror, contentment, awe and unending surprises. I still miss being on watch, all alone in the middle of the night, in the middle of the ocean. Any ocean. David W. Zimmerly - The building of the two-masted junk-rigged Arluk inspired the dream of acquiring an ocean-going sailing yacht to cruise the world. In 1984 my wife Helga and I bought Erasmus, a 35’ aluminum cutter-rigged sailboat, and we had ten glorious years of cruising from Ottawa to Thailand.
