About the Book
In Volume 2, Helga and David shed their arctic clothing to head to warmer climes. Share their voyage as they cross the treacherous Northern North Atlantic to find a warm welcome in Scotland. Winter over with them in a delightful English village; explore Amsterdam and the Zuider Zee and moor next to Place de la Concorde in Paris in time for the Bastille Day parade; head south to the Mediterranean through canals and rivers, one person bicycling from lock to lock while the other tags along on Erasmus.
Celebrate anniversaries in the Greek Islands; in Turkey, eat sizzling Çöp Şiş in Izmir or head to the camel fights in Ephesus; meet the hardy sailors who arrive in Cyprus on the home stretch of a circumnavigation.

Helga Zimmerly - The ten years David and I spent on Erasmus, cruising halfway around the world, were filled with beauty, terror, contentment, awe and unending surprises. I still miss being on watch, all alone in the middle of the night, in the middle of the ocean. Any ocean. David W. Zimmerly - The building of the two-masted junk-rigged Arluk inspired the dream of acquiring an ocean-going sailing yacht to cruise the world. In 1984 my wife Helga and I bought Erasmus, a 35’ aluminum cutter-rigged sailboat, and we had ten glorious years of cruising from Ottawa to Thailand.
