Book Description
In 1934, Commander Graham set off single-handed from Galmouth in EMANUEL, a tiny seven-ton cutter, on a voyage to Labrador. Once there, he spent several weeks cruising among the remote settlements of Newfoundland and Labrador. On the passage home via Bermuda, heavy gales tested man and boat nearly to the limit: "The sea looked so terrifying that I could not bear to look at it, and I remained below all day." The disabled boat managed to make it to Bermuda, where Commander Graham spent the winter. He then sailed home in the spring by way of the Azores. This new edition contains previously unpublished information about the eight-year restoration of EMANUEL, faithfully restoring her to here original state.
