Your destination for cruising advice and planning
I spent last summer in Newfoundland. As always, I had a wonderful time, saw plenty of fantastic scenery and wildlife as well as loads of icebergs.
My most recent magazine article on Newfoundland was featured in PassageMaker Magazine in June 2018. It can be viewed online at the following link.

This is an excerpt from PRACTICAL SAILOR—from their reviews of cruising guides for Cuba.
…”with tips on everything from where to find fresh-baked bread to making windward progress along the coast, Barr’s book [Cruising Guide to Cuba] is about as good a combination navigation/travel guide as you will find for cruising. The publication is well-balanced, with more emphasis on well-rendered chartlets than glossy photos…”
I was pleased with this review and I think you will be pleased to have a copy of my guide on board for the voyage.

The lyrics for “90 Miles to Hemingway” were written by Don Barr. The music is by Mike Aiken and sung by Mike.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor. Catch the Tradewinds in your sails.” – Mark Twain
