The Aegre anchored in Carlisle Bay Barbados December 1973

In the Notes to Chapter 12 there is more about how the purchase of a high quality inflatable dinghy in Barbados influenced our survival thinking. Also more about two other boats similar in size to The Aegre with solo skippers, who sailed into Carlisle Bay from the other side of the Atlantic and anchored near us, plus more photos that aren’t in the book.

Also new on The Aegre website are more pictures of the building in Glasgow of the yohl inspired by The Aegre, by Peter Matheson, aided (and hindered) by his two killer cats. Peter is now onto the 7th plank.

Meanwhile Fathers Day is fast approaching in the UK and US (16 June 2024). But there’s still time to send Dad a copy of The Voyage of The Aegre. Available in paperback, eBook and on Amazon Audible. With Chapter Notes coming out every few weeks, it’s much more than a once off read. See How to buy the book.

Thank you for your support,
