Sailing in Circles, Goin' Somewhere is the funny, bittersweet memoir of a Prince Edward Island man who, over seven years, builds a classic 1930s wooden sailboat and, in 2004, attempts to circumnavigate eastern North America. The author leaves a small fishing port on the Island and tracks along the rugged coast, up the St. Lawrence River, and through the Great Lakes. Alone, he encounters heavy fog, near-collisions with freighters, mechanical breakdowns, enormous seas, several brushes with disaster, and even a hostile reception at one French-speaking port. He meets odd and curious people. It all comes to an inglorious and mundane end when the author and his boat, the Arja D., are stuck in, of all places, Peoria, Illinois. Was it worth it? Maybe."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Martin, Finley $x Travel $z Canada, Eastern. 650 0 $a Sailors $z Prince Edward Island $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sailing $z Canada, Eastern. 651 0 $a Canada, Eastern $x Description and travel. 776 1 $a Martin, Finley, author. $t Sailing in circles, goin' somewhere.: $d Halifax, NS : Nimbus Publishing, 2018. $w (CaOONL)2017907962X 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905045903.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91F73CE6961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
