While still gracing Little Darwin with his illustrated Bulldust Diary series about his travels in the outback , the exceptionally talented Peter Burleigh has begun penning a similarly entertaining account of his latest adventure-sailing about French waterways with his wife, Judi . On reading Burleigh’s magical mystery tour , our learned readers will soon detect that he is a strange mixture of the explorer La Perouse , Captain Hornblower , Captain Bligh, Captain Cook, Sinbad the sailor, the great French writer and philosopher , Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the little Dutch boy who put his finger in the dike. To prove that Burleigh is truly exceptional, we tender as evidence the above photograph of his latest acquisition , a Dutch built cruiser , bought in Britain, which required an exceptional convoy ( in French ) to transport it to water. The series, we are assured, will contain handy hints on how to go broke running a luxury vessel and lashing out on great French food and wines.
