    About this ebook

    As a young lad of only ten years old, Jim Whitelaw is taken sailing with a friend of the family. Jim is totally enthralled and from that day forward Jim decides that one day he will buy his own yacht.

    It is forty years later before Jim eventually keeps his promise to himself and this book reflects the story and steep learning curve during Jim's forty year journey.

    Jim buys his first boat without too much knowledge and makes many mistakes and gets into quite a few scrapes.

    This book follows Jim's dream and nightmares.

      The Kimberley From A Different Perspective.

      WE’VE BEEN going to the Kimberley since 1978 and, while I’m not sure how many trips we’ve taken to its sandstone ridges and grassy valleys, we have also often thought about a boat trip along the coast. To cut a long story short, we finally got around
