The Poet-adventurer Theo Dorgan comes to the RSt. George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire as an after dinner speaker to discuss his recent book, Time on the Ocean. This is an inspired description of how Dorgan flew to southern Chile and joined the crew of Pelagic Australis, a 70ft single mast yacht, for the voyage to Cape Town. Sailing more than 4,000 miles with 10 strangers involves immense difficulties, but Dorgan conveys with poetic simplicity his joy in facing this extraordinary challenge. The event "Tales of the High Seas" - with Theo Dorgan is a RSGYC Supper event. It's on Wednesday 7th September at the Royal St George and it is open to the public.
at 7.30pm. Tickets are €25 – includes supper – available from www.Paviliontheatre.ie Tel:-01 2312929
