Bob Burns, the 52nd man to sail around the world singlehandedly sojourned in Port Owen whilst accomplishing his epic voyage. After he had finished his journey he came back with his new wife and stayed here for some years, acting as celebrity barman in the yacht club.
Now he has published a book on his travels. It costs 10 Pounds.
You can order it from:
T. Burns, 41 Prince Charles Close, Southwick, Brighton, Sussex, BN42 4PQ England
Bob still loves Port Owen and makes much mention of it in his book. Perhaps one day we shal see the junk rig of Roamer sailing back into the marina. It was a far better place when Captain Bob was around.
