prominent figure in British
Columbia legal and political
life, Louis had suffered a mild
heart attack some months
prior to his departure for
England. Advised by his
doctor to seek out a change of
pace for a year or so he chose
to go to sea.

The presence of young Jason
was no deterrant tq either
Louis, or Helen, his wife.

“IT was a bit nervous at

first,’? Helen told The Review
during a recent interview, ‘‘But
1 knew everything was going to
be just fine once we left
Lymington ... as luck would
have it we hit one of the worst
storms encountered on the
entire voyage home to Sid-
ney.”’
Seasick in the first few hours
young Jason soon attained his
sea legs and proved a constant
source: of enjoyment to both
the Lindholm’s and _ their
enthusiastic crew. Stowed in.

During the 19 day passage
from the Canary Islands to the
West Indies the crew of the
ANNIE CADBY encountered
little difficulty in coping with
the presence of an energetic
infant aboard the vessel.

“He soon learned his way
about below deck,’’ said
Helen. ‘‘Sometimes it was
difficult to sleep when you
went off watch though, as he
liked to climb up into your
bunk and would want to
play.”’

Another favourite pastime
of this youthful sailor was
tinkering with the master
control panel above the engine
housing. One day at sea he
flicked a number of switches
and entirely drained the boats
electrical power.

“We didn’t have room fora
lot of toys’? explained Helen,

“So instead -he spent hours:

leafing through old copies of
yachting magazines. He

seemed to particularly enjoy
pictures of sailing boats and

Unfortunately, in the very
midst of the 19 day passage
across the Atlantic Louis was
stricken with hepatitus. ‘‘He
was in a bad way for a few
days,’’ said Helen. ‘‘But when
we went ashore in the West
Indies a doctor examined him
and was amazed at the
recovery he had made... it
still took almost two months
before he was really fit though
and we cruised about the
islands enjoying everything
immensely. ”

Following their sojourn
there the ANNIE CADBY
departed for the Panama

Canal putting in at several
ports en route. From there she
sailed up the West Coast of
Central America and it was in
Costa Rica that Jason’s supply
of disposable diapers finally
ranout.

“In some desperation I went
ashore after much hunting
found some . . they cost
ten American dollars a
package,’’ said Helen. ‘‘And
there were but 15 in the
package. »

Last October young Jason
sailed into Sidney, home from
an experience that many an
older salt would give his cye
tecth for. He still is as en-
thusiastic as ever and lends his
parents a willing hand during
their weckend jousts in the
Canoe Bay Sailing Club races.

“It was a great experience
for us all to go to sea with him
when he was ‘at such a young
age,’’ said Helen. ‘‘I’d
recommend it to just about any
parent. He really made the
voyage for me a very special
thing.”
