Looking for copy of Dahl’s “Superior Way”

I’m looking for a copy of Bonnie Dahl’s “Superior Way: The cruising Guide to Lake Superior.”  Susan and I are planning a cruise up there for next season and this is a very highly recommended guide.  If you have one drop me a line.  Also, if you know who it was that borrowed Carl’s signed copy a while back, give them a nudge to return it.  Also, I’m looking for charts.  Thanks, Joseph Hardin. 

Sailing from the Canaries

This is a note relayed from Jane at Lion’s Head about Ian Nicholls doing a sail from the Canaries into the Caribbean this winter, starting in a few days.  I asked Ian if I could post this to the GYC and he said fine.  It’s a good time of year to watch a sail unfold.  He’ll be blogging, he says.

Subject: Some actual sailing news!

Hi Jane,

We’ve had a busy December in terms of very sad news and important discussions within our sailing community.  I thought I’d add to the mix with some real sailing news about my upcoming adventure.  I’m leaving on Boxing Day to head to the Canary Islands where I’ll meet my friend Rick and his wife Lorraine aboard their new 45′ Lagoon catamaran s/v Airborne.   He’s spent the past few weeks moving from Malta, where he purchased the boat, to Las Palmas.  If you can share this note with the community, I know there are a few folks who would like to keep an eye on us as we track across the mid-Atlantic.

Follow our movement across the Atlantic here: https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Airborne   – We’re leaving Las Palmas likely on Dec 29th!

This is the type of boat I’ll be on:  Lagoon catamarans : building, sale and chartering of luxury cruising catamaran

And here’s our approximate route:  http://tinyurl.com/zxjyw7q

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and I look forward to sharing the experience with folks in the New Year!
