Response from Theo Dorgan
Submitted by Messing About in Sailboats Blog
Theo Dorgan, the venerable Irish poet and author of Sailing for Home, read my post today about his book. Here is what he had to say:
Greetings from Dublin!
Thanks for the kind comments about SAILING FOR HOME. “Strangely compelling” appealed to me, I have to say!
Couldn’t quite figure out whether “wild metaphysical tangents” appealed to you or not, though. On balance not, would be my guess.
I’ve just finished a new book, trip from Punta Arenas around the Horn, on to Cape Town via Falklands/Malvinas and Tristan da Cunha — South A tlantic in winter, 12m waves and 70 knots, THAT will give you a metaphysical tangent or two, let me tell ya.
Kind regards,
Theo Dorgan
For the record I meant the “metaphysical tangent” comment in a good way.
