The Long Voyage Home by R. Lancy Burn
In the fall of 1961, inspired by a dream handed down to him from his grandfather and father, Lancy Burn began a journey to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a small sailboat. After 10 years of working and planning, the much anticipated voyage presented extreme weather conditions that would have challenged even the most experienced sailor. This rollicking tale, swelling with colorful nautical language, shows the resourcefulness and determination dedicated to fulfilling one’s life-long dream and will delight and inspire readers of all ages.
Lancy Burn was born in Charleston, SC in 1939. He spent many summers hunting, fishing and boating at his grandfather’s home on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina. Burn achieved the rank of chopper crew chief during his service in the Army which provided him the opportunity to learn celestial navigation, allowing him to realize his dream of sailing across the Atlantic.
