An adventure that had certain roots in Oshawa took place last Ocean between the United States and Bermuda, and partly on Sailing a yacht from Norfolk, Virginia, to Bermuda was Dr. Ray West, a former resident of Oshawa, who now practises in Washington, D.C. Among the crew of the yacht were also David S. Jamieson, of Oshawa and Dr. West's nine-year-old daughter, Donna. In Bermuda the yacht's ar- rival was awaited by Mrs. Rosalie West, of Oshawa, Donna's grandmother. Mrs. West had flown to the island in company of Donna's mother and the wife of another crew mem- ber. For Mrs. West the trip had a particular significance. She was born in Bermuda and this was the first time in more than 40 years that she returned to the island, "It took this kind of thing to get her up," said Dr. West, for whom this sea voyage had been a boyhood dream. " He had chartered the 46-foot yacht for three weeks and, with five others besides his daugh- ter, under the direction of the only experienced sailor on board, Skipper Al Hennigan, BAND TO MARCH The Central Indiana Boy Scout Band, which will play at the McLaughlin Bandsheil in Memorial Park on Wednesday night of this week, will parade from the O'Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute to the park 7:45 p.m. A group: of 50 boys from the Bowmanville Training ON COMMITTEE Mrs. Margaret East, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

Only once did the yacht run into foul weather. ; "We were never in any danger," Dr. West said, "we dropped our sails and ran be- fore the storm." BRILLIANT WEATHER Otherwise the weather was brilliant. For young Donna the trip was particularly exciting, as they sighted whales and were often accompanied by frolicking porpoises. "She looked a sight when they arrived," her grandmother re- called, "'her hair was all tousled by the wind."' Mrs. West said she would like to go to Bermuda again, but not to live there. "It is so small," she said. "You could go anywhere in one afternoon." ' She found many changes since her childhood. Where once she had lived was now a tennis court. But on the whole Mrs. West was enchanted by the beauty of the island. -- "Especially in June, when the oleanders are blooming," she said.
