After tough assignments as a Canadian diplomat abroad, Nicholas
Coghlan and his wife Jenny unwind by sailing Bosun Bird, a 27foot
sailboat, from Cape Town, South Africa, across the South Atlantic
and into the stormy winter waters around Tierra del Fuego, South
America. Coghlan recounts earlier adventures in Patagonia when,
taking time off from his job as a schoolteacher in Buenos Aires in
the late 1970s, he and Jenny explored the region of southern
Argentina and Chile over three successive summers. This time, as
they negotiate the labyrinth of channels and inlets around
snow-covered Fireland, he reflects on voyages of past explorers:
Magellan, Cook, Darwin, and others. Sailing enthusiasts and readers
of true adventures will want to add Coghlan's world-wise narrative
to their libraries.
