Dr. ucnniugham was born in Northern Ireland. received his medical degree in Belfast in 1988. .-served six years with the Royal Navy in destroyers on the North lAtIantie convoy run to Britain and

.northern Russia. and finally made up

his way to Newfoundland. He is (now a naturalized Canadian.

He was a doctor at the hospital in Hermitage for two years before he got the Icebird.

"I love the sea." he says. "and I love medicine. I keep trying to find a job that combines them."

He stays in Newfoundland when he isn't wandering.

"I'm not married. Couldnlt sail

around this way if I was." How did he name his ship the
