THE VOYAGE OF
ERASMUS: Greenland to the Mediterranean
To All Friends,
In this, the second of three parts,
Helga and David discover generous Scottish hospitality along the
Caledonia Canal and confusing English eccentricity in the
harbour of Tollesbury. They cruise the lovely canals of Holland
and Belgium, where they’re adopted by a water-ski club and feted
as celebrities. From a romantic berth in Paris, they reach the
Mediterranean to island-hop in Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus,
becoming part of a cosmopolitan cruising culture—intrepid
risk-takers from many lands, for whom each day brings some
unexpected drama.
In its 238 lavishly illustrated
pages, Volume 2 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.

Laurier in Love

THE VOYAGE OF
ERASMUS: Ottawa to the Arctic
To All Friends,
Below is information about our eBook that
tells the story of our voyage out the St. Lawrence and along the
Labrador coast to Baffin Island in the mid 1980s. Part of the
pleasure in writing and designing it was remembering the warmth
of our welcome whenever we came ashore and the awesome scenery
of that rugged coastline as we travelled ever further north.
It is more than 170 pages and has over 90 photos and charts,
some hyperlinks and video. It is a PDF, the format most
everyone can read
on their desktop or Laptop computer. It
is not meant to be read on a Kobo or Kindle type reader.

| As an arctic anthropologist with the National Museums of Canada (now
the Canadian Museum of Civilization), from 1971-1982, I developed a
passion for studying, building and writing about Arctic Kayaks. This site
is intended as a means to share the results of my research.
The site includes a description of
kayak types,
kayak construction, a
database
of kayaks, an
annotated
bibliography of Arctic Kayaks and publications
for sale. A search engine allows site navigation by keyword.
