Our Lady of Hope and the Atlantic Crossing Part One
Martin Doran recalls the 1979 voyage with his father and brother aboard a voyage boat starting from Florida. They sail across the Atlantic in 44 days with stops in Bermuda and the Azores, facing a 70 knot storm near England that tests their resolve and sails. The Azores impress with low prices and volcanic peaks, then England and Germany offer culture and family ties before adding a new crew member to tutor the brothers. Continued next week.
