Summer Cruising in Newfoundland

I spent last summer in Newfoundland. As always, I had a wonderful time, saw plenty of fantastic scenery and wildlife as well as loads of icebergs.

My most recent magazine article on Newfoundland was featured in PassageMaker Magazine in June 2018. It can be viewed online at the following link.

I did a recent online interview with Linus Wilson (Slowboat to Bahamas) who was preparing for his trip to Cuba en route to the Western Caribbean. You can hear the interview by following the link to his podcast which he upload while on his boat in Cuba. The segment is about 40 mins total but the actual interview with me is closer to 30 mins.

PRACTICAL SAILOR (MAY 2016)

This is an excerpt from PRACTICAL SAILOR—from their reviews of cruising guides for Cuba.

Cuba-Book-cover

…”with tips on everything from where to find fresh-baked bread to making windward progress along the coast, Barr’s book [Cruising Guide to Cuba] is about as good a combination navigation/travel guide as you will find for cruising. The publication is well-balanced, with more emphasis on well-rendered chartlets than glossy photos…”

I was pleased with this review and I think you will be pleased to have a copy of my guide on board for the voyage.

90 miles to Hemingway

posted in: Media & Links | 0

The lyrics for “90 Miles to Hemingway” were written by Don Barr. The music is by Mike Aiken and sung by Mike.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor. Catch the Tradewinds in your sails.” – Mark Twain
