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.

Review:

The account is well illustrated throughout by Hedderwick, including various sketches and six superb fold-out sections which each reveal an interesting water colour. * * Sailing Today * * a charmingly told tale...Hedderwick's writing style is pleasant, self-effacing and relaxed, and her fold-up watercolours are worth the cover price alone * * The Herald * * A splendid account of a changing country. * * The Good Book Guide on Highland Journey * *
