Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Possessed with a desire for romantic adventure, yet afraid of the sea, Mairi Hedderwick undertook a six week voyage with "the Captain" down the Caledonian Canal and out to sea in a small, antiquated sailing boat. Armed only with her pens, paints, papers, and pots of herbs, children's book author/illustrator Hedderwick recorded her voyage. She found that the romantic moments were scarce and the voyage fraught with danger and difficulty. But by finding humor in even the most adverse circumstances while conveying the beauty of the land and sea through her words and pictures, she is able to convey to the reader her unforgettable voyage of discovery. Sea Change is a superbly presented travelogue that will thrill even the most sedentary armchair traveler and may well inspire the reader to throw caution to the wind and embark upon a voyage of discovery of their own.
