"one of the best cruising accounts I have read in a long time." John Kretschmer
A compelling adventure to one of the few places in the world where raw unspoiled nature meets the ocean, from the author of Becoming a Sailor, Journey to the Ragged Islands, and Chasing the Nomadic Dream. "Sailing to Newfoundland" is one of the best cruising accounts I have read in a long time. Paul Trammell's latest book, describing his single-handed sail from Florida to Newfoundland, is a wise, inspiring tale that reminds me of Rockwell Kent's classic, "N by E." Trammell writes like he lives and sails, with keen attention to detail, a profound respect for nature, deep humility and, best of all, with an almost childlike sense of awe. He never fails to embrace the majesty of this dramatic coast as he pilots his 40' cutter "Windflower" into one stunning anchorage after another, not a small task for a single-hander. He sets off on hikes and climbs the rugged edges, determined to find a secret trout pond or just a glimpse of his boat from a higher perspective. Through the course of the book Newfoundland changes from a dreamy destination, to a forbidding land of rock and fog, to a challenging but enchanted cruising ground with some of, in Trammell's words, "the nicest people in the world."
