About the Author

---

John Vigor emigrated to South Africa from England with his family at age thirteen. A journalist by trade and a sailor by vocation, he is author of twelve boating books and scores of articles in boating magazines on three continents. His newspaper career spanned forty years in America, England, and South Africa. In 1987 John sailed from Durban to the United States on his 30-foot sloop with his wife and their youngest son. The story of that stressful six-month voyage is recounted in his acclaimed book, Small Boat to Freedom. He is now an American citizen living in Bellingham, Washington.
