Download or read book From Farm to Ocean, a Memoir written by Paul Jones and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Paul A. Jones grew up an only child on a small Kansas farm, far from any ocean. When Paul's mother read him "The Sailor Dog," a book about a little dog who dreamt of escaping the farm and sailing on the ocean for adventure, Paul was hooked. He too began to dream of leaving the farm, learning to sail, and adventuring to see foreign lands and different kind of people. This memoir traces Paul's life, beginning in the middle of the last century and detailing an idyllic way of life that is no longer seen in country today: the one room country school, milk delivered door-to-door, and fishing in the creek with a coffee tin of worms. Paul's story holds a darker history as well: he lost his father at age eleven and his single mother worked alone to support her son. Paul lived through the turbulence of the 60's, struggling with his own demons as the country struggled with its demons.At the heart of this memoir is the ocean. Paul married, had a career as a dentist, and raised two wonderful daughters, but he never forgot his dream of sailing and traveling to foreign lands. From Farm to Ocean details how Paul planned, prepared, and executed his dream adventure: taking a year off from work to sail the high seas.In his early 50s, Paul actually did it. He and his family lived aboard their sailboat, visiting most of the Caribbean islands between Florida and South America. In this book's pages, Paul shares the challenges, joys, sights, and sounds of living aboard and traveling the diverse islands. A thoughtful and witty narrator, Paul also shares what he has learned about the world and himself in his travels, the obstacles he's overcome, and triumphs he's achieved. The hopeful declaration of this memoir is this: not matter where you began, you too can find a dream, plan to realize it, and make your dream come true.

Book Synopsis Sailing True North by : Admiral James Stavridis, USN
Download or read book Sailing True North written by Admiral James Stavridis, USN and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the most distinguished admirals of our time and a former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, a meditation on leadership and character refracted through the lives of ten of the most illustrious naval commanders in history In Sailing True North, Admiral Stavridis offers lessons of leadership and character from the lives and careers of history's most significant naval commanders. He also brings a lifetime of reflection to bear on the subjects of his study--naval history, the vocation of the admiral, and global geopolitics. Above all, this is a book that will help you navigate your own life's voyage: the voyage of leadership of course, but more important, the voyage of character. Sailing True North helps us find the right course to chart. Simply as epic lives, the tales of these ten admirals offer up a collection of the greatest imaginable sea stories. Moreover, spanning 2,500 years from ancient Greece to the twenty-first century, Sailing True North is a book that offers a history of the world through the prism of our greatest naval leaders. None of the admirals in this volume were perfect, and some were deeply flawed. But from Themistocles, Drake, and Nelson to Nimitz, Rickover, and Hopper, important themes emerge, not least that serving your reputation is a poor substitute for serving your character; and that taking time to read and reflect is not a luxury, it's a necessity. By putting us on personal terms with historic leaders in the maritime sphere he knows so well, James Stavridis gives us a compass that can help us navigate the story of our own lives, wherever that voyage takes us.

This is the very first guide that teaches sailing and cruising together, taking you from your first sail to independent cruising in one leap.

Book Synopsis An Embarrassment of Mangoes by : Ann Vanderhoof
Download or read book An Embarrassment of Mangoes written by Ann Vanderhoof and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2011-03-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Tuscan Sun meets the wide-open sea . . . An Embarrassment of Mangoes is a delicious chronicle of leaving the type-A lifestyle behind -- and discovering the seductive secrets of life in the Caribbean. Who hasn’t fantasized about chucking the job, saying goodbye to the rat race, and escaping to some exotic destination in search of sun, sand, and a different way of life? Canadians Ann Vanderhoof and her husband, Steve did just that. In the mid 1990s, they were driven, forty-something professionals who were desperate for a break from their deadline-dominated, career-defined lives. So they quit their jobs, rented out their house, moved onto a 42-foot sailboat called Receta (“recipe,” in Spanish), and set sail for the Caribbean on a two-year voyage of culinary and cultural discovery. In lavish detail that will have you packing your swimsuit and dashing for the airport, Vanderhoof describes the sun-drenched landscapes, enchanting characters and mouthwatering tastes that season their new lifestyle. Come along for the ride and be seduced by Caribbean rhythms as she and Steve sip rum with their island neighbors, hike lush rain forests, pull their supper out of the sea, and adapt to life on “island time.” Exchanging business clothes for bare feet, they drop anchor in 16 countries -- 47 individual islands -- where they explore secluded beaches and shop lively local markets. Along the way, Ann records the delectable dishes they encounter -- from cracked conch in the Bahamas to curried lobster in Grenada, from Dominican papaya salsa to classic West Indian rum punch -- and incorporates these enticing recipes into the text so that readers can participate in the adventure. Almost as good as making the journey itself, An Embarrassment of Mangoes is an intimate account that conjures all the irresistible beauty and bounty from the Bahamas to Trinidad -- and just may compel you to make a rash decision that will land you in paradise.
