Report From England
Set Sail
LONDON — La Goleta's 1,300 square feet of sail stretched white as gull's wings against thfc hazy blue of the sky. Her 54ft. mainmast dipped gently until the horizon was a diagnal across our deck.
My right foot was up to the ankle in cold green water—and I was loving it.
I had thought I would have to learn gradually why it is that teetering about the streaming, canting deck of a boat, wrestling with tons of sodden sail's, sends men into ecstasies and makes them give up home and fireside without a backward glance.
But here I was, 10

At 7.30, with the day quietening, we came to Largs, its churches and houses squatting on the water's edge. But we did not anchor there. We crossed over to a small, still bay on Great Cumbrae Island called Balloch Martin, where only a house called Fairhaven looked out on us, and the anchor bit down through the water to hold us quiet there.
STARVING
Alastair cooked the dinner over a paraffin pressure stove in a frying pan which wa-s only just small enough to allow him into the galley with it. Qur appetites Were those of starving pumas.
But when the first wild champing of jaws had subsided, we were able to sit _on the gently rocking deck and savour the other splendid thing about Bailing—the peace of anchoring off a place, hearing its noise filters ed through dark night air, listening to the terns mewing in the dark above and the oyster-catchers crying on the shore.
