Original Toronto Star caption: Down to the sea in cement; Like many a sailor; Warren Keillor had dreams of building his own boat and sailing around the world. The difference is that he has done something about it: on the lakefront; at the foot of Cherry St.; he's spent a year working on a 45-foot schooner; hulled with ferro-cement. He expects to finish the job in another two years; then step the two masts; making the ship weigh 22 tons; and set sail on his dream cruise.
