Annette Brock Davis has published articles in many nautical periodicals, including The Dogwatch, and exhibits her critically acclaimed, sea-inspired paintings in Canada and the United States. Now in her ninetieth year, she still sleeps in a bunk bed and navigates her bicycle on errands around Bridgenorth, the southern Ontario village where she lives.
"... filled with history, humour, and Annette's own vibrant personality. For the history buff, there are photos, charts, glossaries, and biographical notes on the main characters." -- Joan Eyolfson -- Port Hole, Jan 2001 "Davis presents the romance and work of being on a sailing ship in her clear, but modest, voice. She brings back this era convincingly with personal stories and memoirs." -- Katharine C. Black "If you enjoy a well-written, entertaining sea yarn with an unusual ending, consider adding My Year Before the Mast to your sailing library." -- J. Gregory Dill -- Ocean Navigator
