How the winds laughed: sailing around the world in a 28-foot wooden Boat
Year: 2012 Language: English Author: Addie Greene Genre: Textbook Publisher: Fuze Publishing, LLC Edition: First ISBN: 978-0984990863 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 245 Description: In the beginning, Addie Greene is afraid to climb a mast, even at dock, or change sails on a bucking foredeck washed with breaking waves. Yet as she and her young husband take on the great adventure of circumnavigation in a 28-foot boat, a succession of catastrophes demands that she become the driving force in carrying them forward and eventually safely home. How the Winds Laughed sails on the wings of hope, fear, anger, and love across three oceans and more than 30,000 miles. A coming-of-age quest, it drenches the dreams of Don Quixote with the ignoble reality of Sancho Panza. Additional info: About the Author After growing up close to the land on a California ranch, Addie Greene met a man who taught her the glories of the sea. In 1971, the pair decided to sail around the world in a 28-foot boat. She went on to raise two children and pursue a writing career. She lives in Ashland, Oregon, and though 150 miles inland, she can still hear the winds laugh. A detailed and deeply honest treasure. Not only do Greene s writing gifts shine, she lays bare her heart. --Vella Munn, author of more than 50 adventure, historical, and romance novels There is much to learn from this well-written book: about the sea, sailing, island cultures, and personal relationships. How the Winds Laughed is as much for armchair sailors as it is for experienced mariners --Anthony Dalton, author of Alone Against the Arctic and eight other books about the sea A story of love, adventure, and inspiration for armchair sailors and anyone who dreams of life on the high seas. --Nancy Owens Barnes, author of South to Alaska
