Circumnavigation Talk

Tuesday 20 February 2001, 8pm-9pm by Beth Leonard, author of the book Following Seas - A Voyage of Discovery

This was full to capacity. Starting her tale in pitch black, beth recounted some of her dramatic, emotional and calmer experiences in her 37ft Yacht "Silk". A very inspirational talk - perhaps a few Corinthians will be off round the word soon.

Wanting to escape from her high-powered yet hollow corporate life as an international management consultant, Beth and her partner exchanged the boardroom for a new life afloat where they were tested to the limit, but which enabled them both ultimately to emerge as stronger yet different people. Armchair sailors and adventurers alike will be drawn into Beth's voyage of discovery, and anyone with an unquenchable dream will find in these pages the encouragement to chase that dream.

Beth Leonard is a writer and living aboard her boat Hawk which is moored in Kinsale Yacht Club. Beth and Evans are preparing the boat for the next trip which will take them North. For more information on her book see www.adlardcoles.co.uk under Beth Leonard's postcards
