'I know that the map has been "read" to old men by their sons and grandsons, and I am always relieved to hear that one or other of the fishermen has confirmed my naming of the rocks and inlets he has known all his life. Finally, I know that many copies have been sent off to "the exiles" in Britain, Australia and the USA, and this makes me both proud and sad'
