À propos du livre
In Volume 3, join Erasmus on a memorable three-month long passage down the Red Sea during the run-up to the 1st Gulf War. Share the wonders of Egyptian antiquity, the dizzying bureaucracy of Port Sudan, an enforced stay on a Yemeni Island and an American Christmas in Djibouti. A boisterous sail down the east coast of Africa takes them to a safe anchorage in Kenya, where Erasmus waits patiently while David and Helga spend a fascinating year in Khartoum, topping up the cruising kitty. David works for the World Food Program and CARE, while Helga teaches at the American International School.
Whirling dervishes, Nuba wrestling, international friendships, sandstorms, Sudanese weddings… an exotic mix in the midst of unimaginable hardship for the Sudanese people under the dictatorship of Omar al-Bashir. Illustrated with charts and photographs.

À propos du créateur
David Zimmerly
Perth, Ontario Canada
Helga Zimmerly - The ten years David and I spent on Erasmus, cruising halfway around the world, were filled with beauty, terror, contentment, awe and unending surprises. I still miss being on watch, all alone in the middle of the night, in the middle of the ocean. Any ocean. David W. Zimmerly - The building of the two-masted junk-rigged Arluk inspired the dream of acquiring an ocean-going sailing yacht to cruise the world. In 1984 my wife Helga and I bought Erasmus, a 35’ aluminum cutter-rigged sailboat, and we had ten glorious years of cruising from Ottawa to Thailand.
