It is the story of Gordon and Irene's love of the sea.
She grew up sailing dinghies in Friesland, Holland, and struck gold when she met Gordon, a seasoned British sailor, whilst being an au pair in Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex. The two have since spent their lives sailing together at every opportunity, logging many nautical miles.
In Sailing the Waterways of Russia's North she shares her diary from her voyage through Russia. Originally written just for family and friends, she was persuaded by a fellow participant of the Baltic Millennium Rally to hand in her diary to the Cruising Association for their log competition, and much to her surprise won The Hanson Cup.
She eventually agreed, after a lot of persuasion from those in the sailing community, to publish her diary; a frank account of her and Gordon's journey through Russia and their struggles and highlights along the way.
