Acerca del libro
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.

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.
