Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joys and Adversities of a Sailors Wife, so begins the story of 'The Reluctant Sailor'. We travel through the history of an ordinary woman who led an extraordinary life. As we share the journey by the side of Helen Haskins, we relive the courage with which she met her adventures and her sorrows. We can also join in on the fun, the laughs and the love she shared with her family and friends, sailing around international and Australian waters. Helen Haskins was born and raised in Mackay on the east coast of Australia, to an Australian mother and a refugee Russian immigrant father. Helen grew up and lived the life of a typical Australian woman of her time, getting married at 17, and becoming a home-loving housewife and mother. She liked nothing better than to cook and entertain family and friends, and still does to this day. Due to contracting Rheumatic Fever as a child she was not encouraged to learn to swim or do sports and still does not swim well. Therefore she was ill prepared for marriage to a man who didn't want to settle down and dreamt of spending his life sailing. Together with her husband John and family in tow, they travelled over most of Australia, back-packed around Europe, house exchanged internationally, and lived on board a self-built yacht named, 'Trah.' And sail they did! After Helen and John hand built John's own remodelled 'Spray', a redesign of the famous yacht sailed around the world by Joshua Slocum, they sailed together up the Queensland coast, to New Zealand and New Caledonia on one of the safest designed yachts in the world. Helen retells her adventures with numerous people, frightening storms, unexpected reefs, sprinkled with love, drama and lots of laughter, though some of the laughs would only come later. Join Helen on her fantastic life journey, ever The Reluctant Sailor.

Book excerpt: In No Fixed Address: Tales of a Reluctant Sailor Heather Morgan tells what it's really like to leave behind a comfortable life in the suburbs to permanently live aboard a 56-foot Oyster sailboat. Married to an enthusiastic and experienced sailor, Heather, the reluctant first mate, charms readers with her unique British humor as she explains how she survived a hurricane, prepared gourmet meals in a tiny galley, and conquered her fear of deep water. Heather's story traces her sailing adventures south through the West Indies, west across the remote Venezuelan Islands, all the way down to the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao). Along with her comical and sometimes terrifying accounts, she weaves in original recipes, illustrations, photographs and useful insider's Island information and history. Stories of Pirates, shipwrecks, storms and sea-monsters all come to life in this one-of-a-kind travelers tale. Anyone who has ever fantasized about leaving behind conventional living and running away to sea will find this a compelling read.

Download or read book Adventures of a Reluctant Boating Wife written by Angela Rice and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'When I was first invited by a new - and handsome - man to the local Yacht Club to see his boat, I happily conjured up alluring pictures of me in an expensive bikini and a great suntan. It didn't occur to me that "see my boat" might actually mean going out in the thing....' Before she knew it, Angela Rice had agreed to a sailing trip on the notorious west coast of Scotland – and to marry her skipper. The voyage did nothing to allay her primal suspicion of anything afloat. But years later, one sunny Boat Show day, she discovered the lifestyle lure of powerboats. Speculating they might be less confusing and scary than their sailing counterparts, she cajoled her man into crossing to the dark side – with wild promises to try to become competent. Reluctance slowly gave way to relish, scepticism to skippering, the Solent to the Seine..... Originally published as a series in Motorboat & Yachting magazine, and illustrated with wonderful cartoons by David Semple, this is a funny and engaging account of one woman's relationship with the sea, a boat and her husband.

Download or read book The Wingman Adventures Volume One written by Mack Maloney and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 1286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first three books in the bestselling military adventure series by “the best high-action thriller writer out there today, bar none” (Jon Land). With nearly a quarter of a million copies sold, this high-octane series features Hawk Hunter, a fearless fighter pilot who saves the not-so-distant future United States from the brink of all-out anarchy. Wingman: World War III started in Western Europe with a Soviet nerve gas attack that laid waste to France, Germany, and Spain. The world’s democracies fought back against the Russians but could not save America from a devastating nuclear strike. Two years after Soviet nukes rained from the sky, US Air Force pilot Hawk Hunter gets a message to report to his old commander. America is in pieces: Pirates rule the skies and an airborne armada is plotting to attack Football City (formerly St. Louis). The armada is made up of criminals flying state-of-the-art jets, and Hunter will do whatever it takes to reclaim his ravaged homeland. The Circle War: One of the most decorated pilots of the old US Air Force, Hawk Hunter now flies for the Pacific American Air Corps, a group of sky jockeys who are ready to fight to save what’s left of America after a nuclear sneak attack shattered the nation into a collection of warring states dominated by criminals, fascists, and pirates. Flying his U-2 over the frozen tundra late one night, Hunter detects a full-scale Soviet invasion force of fifty jet fighters. World War IV is about to begin. The Lucifer Crusade: After expelling a Russian invasion force, Hawk Hunter sets out in pursuit of Viktor Robotov, the sinister terrorist behind the attack. In a world where it’s a crime to wave stars and stripes, Hunter paints his F-16 red, white, and blue, and tears up the sky in search of revenge. There are hundreds of killers on his tail, but Hunter has only one target—and he never misses.

Book excerpt: What the hell is wrong with me? A question a young extremely reluctant Merchant Navy Radio Officer Mark Hurst must've asked a thousand times over as blind terror overtook him each time he put to sea. A quick escape was impossible because of a strict four year contract. Heroism in the Falklands earned him respect and a medal but his dread of being at sea continued unabated. Contract completed he mercifully accepts jobs ashore but years later was forced back to sea and disaster. Rescued by Island fishermen despite his terror he attempts a single handed voyage under sail across over two thousand miles of a turbulent and unforgiving Pacific Ocean. Could he ever find a way to pay back those who helped him? Could he ever find peace with the Sea?
