John Vigor had it all: a loving family, a remarkable career as a
columnist syndicated throughout South Africa, and a comfortable
home in Durban, one of South Africa's most beautiful cities. But an
apartheid regime, and a clampdown by government forces on the
people's freedom of expression, made John decide to leave the life
and country that he loved. Together with his wife and
seventeen-year-old son, John prepared to give up their life of
security and contentment and voyage to America aboard their
thirty-one-foot sloop, Freelance.
Small Boat to Freedom details a journey of conscience and
courage that took John and his family from Durban, past the aptly
named Cape of Storms, around the treacherous Cape of Good Hope, and
across the open Atlantic and the equator to a new home in the
United States. After making land in Florida, John and his family
eventually made their new home in beautiful Washington State,
sailing the waters of Puget Sound.
