The author describes cruising in Norwegian waters on his voyage to the Artic Circle in this entertaining volume. A sailing and cruising enthusiast, the yachtsman was appointed headmaster of Oxford Preparatory School in 1886, and often invited friends and the 'Dragon' School's staff members to accompany him in yachting. As a yachtsman Lynam had a touch of genius. His cruises in the Blue Dragon I,II, and III up the west coast of Scotland and across the North Sea to Norway and the North Cape became legendary. In recognition of the latter, a distance of 1387 miles, he was awarded the challenge cup of the Royal Cruising Club’. [ODNB] |
