Mairi Hederwick took a six-week voyage in 'the captain', down the Caledonian Canal, and out to sea in the small, antiquated sailing boat. The voyage was her way of saying farewell to her island home by sailing the waters between island and mainland and exploring the fingers of fjords that indent the west coast of Scotland.
Through her words and fabulous illustrations, the reader is taken on an unforgettable journey through some of the most beautiful scenery in Britain: Loch Linnhe, the Lyne of Lorne, Loch Etive, to name a few.
The book captures the true spirit of adventure, not only the dangers and difficulties, but also the moments of self-torment and doubt. A voyage of discovery.
