Ian Worley – An Atlantic Odyssey

Cost: £3 for members; £5 for visitors considering joining

In 1967, Ian qualified as a Chartered Accountant and got married. In 1968 he set off with his wife, younger sister and baby daughter to sail across the Atlantic to the Caribbean and all points west. He recounts this experience, when they endured storms aplenty, a collision with whales and a near sinking – all with baby Samantha on board.

How did Samantha, then just six months old, fare, living on board in such conditions – and when the sharks ate the nappies?’
