Sea Dart
General view of Sea Dart’s galley showing gimballed
kerosene stove and netting safeguarding storage bins.
Sea Dart’s main cabin is for people. The
author is seen at work on this article. Tell tale compass is on bulkhead
to starboard forward. The picture on the bulkhead is of the East Indiaman
Marrienne in the English Channel, and to port is a framed letter from ex-
Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie thanking the author for taking some Naval
Cadets sailing in the Red Sea in 1971. It is this setting which the author
believes is necessary for the soul.
