Beschreibung:
Doug Gray's love affair with boats began in the womb. His parents owned a cottage which could only be reached by boat, and he was born less than a week after Labour Day. According to his Mother, on a rough day, he could have been born in the boat. During university, he and a couple of buddies took a year off to see the world, which he may tell us about when he is sure that all the statutes of limitations in several countries have run out.
The untold story of the Royal Mail Ship Nascopie and the adventurous life she had before coming to grief on an unmarked reef in Hudson's Strait half a century ago.
