Re: The St. Clair Voyage - 1398 to 1998

["Rory Sinclair" <rory.sinclair@accglobal.net>]

D'Elayne was shopping the idea which was the descendant of the original
voyage.  When it became clear that the UK base project was not going to go
ahead, Bob Green of the Clan Sinclair USA, assisted by Pete Cummings, tried
to get a US version of the voyage going..  Mailings were made and D'Elayne,
ever the trooper, approached the NS Government.   No one can blame the NS
people for declining to support a project that was supposed to see a boat
built and sailed in a matter of a  few months.  It is easy to blame
governments for spending too much on the projects of others and not enough
on ours but  in this case, Clan Sinclair Canada had put in requests to the
NS Government which tourned out to be successful, three years in advance of
the event that became the success of Guysborough.  As good as the voyage
might have been,  the request put in by D'Elayne could not in all conscience
be taken seriously.

yours aye................Rory
