Continued from Page A17

At the same time he is making
presentations on his trip and pro-
moting the couple’s books.

Doing much of the work them-
selves and a strict budget kept the
costs of the trip low, Howard said.

He built and equipped their
boat, Lorcha, himself in the back-
yard of their home. The name of
the boat is derived from an 18th
Century Portuguese sailing ship
which combined a European hull
with three masts of Chinese sails.

In similar fashion, Lorcha was
based on a Dutch design but fitted
with a single Chinese style lug
sail.

Howard has been. sailing for
about 20 years. He and his wife
spent two years sailing Mediter-
ranean and Black Sea after they
were married, then returned to
Toronto.

“Six years later, now with two
children in tow, we set out on this
trip around the world,’ Howard
said.

Building the boat only cost
$40,000, not including Howard’s
labor.

He estimates the trip cost
$10,000 to $12,000 annually. “It’s
very inexpensive to do this sort of
voyaging.”

the civilizations surrounding the
Mediterranean to his children first-
hand.

“In another couple of years
we'll go again. We hope to do
some more sailing with the kids
before they get to the age when
they leave.”

CLOSE COOKING QUARTERS challenge Fiona McCall and
son Peter aboard the Lorcha. A program on the Toronto
family’s five-year journey around the world will be presented
at the Blue Peter Pub this Thursday.
