Download or read book Uncharted Waters written by J. J. Lawrence and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE TRUE STORY OF APPRENTICE TEEN SAILORS SETTING OUT FOR THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME! A two-masted sailboat majestically glides past the town wharf. Friends, neighbors, parents and siblings avidly wave bon voyage to the newbie co-ed crew leaving the safety of home for a month-long round trip along the coast. This happy group of mariners is unaware of one wily crew member who detests being aboard the ship and is cunningly crafting a way home. The captain and chief inform the trainees that, except for command, all shipboard responsibilities are up to them and their newly elected boatswain. No one anticipates that Mother Nature will imperil these amateur sailors with the fiercest trial the sea can mete out. Eight high school students. Two adult instructors. One worn-out old training ship. Thirty days of sailing hundreds of miles. What could possibly go wrong? The story is true. Fictional characters re-enact several individual occurrences that happened over multiple sailing seasons to different non-fictional crews. The flavor of this coming-of-age adventure tale remains accurate as the characters confront the sea, the boat, the two adult instructors, each other and above all else, themselves. This good, clean, true-to-life chronicle uses action, humor, surprise and drama to drive an enlightening story that focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the youthful characters as they sail away from adolescence headed towards adulthood.

Book Synopsis Steamboats and Sailors of the Great Lakes by : Mark L. Thompson
Download or read book Steamboats and Sailors of the Great Lakes written by Mark L. Thompson and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steamboats and Sailors of the Great Lakestraces the evolution of the Great Lakes shipping industry over the last three centuries. The Great Lakes shipping industry can trace its lineage to 1679 with the launching on Lake Erie of the Griffon, a sixty-foot galley weighing nearly fifty tons. Built by LaSalle, a French explorer who had been commissioned to search for a passage through North America to China, it was the first sailing ship to operate on the upper lakes, signaling the dawn of the Great Lakes shipping industry as we know it today. Steamboats and Sailors of the Great Lakes is the most thorough and factual study of the Great Lakes shipping industry written this century. Author Mark L. Thompson tells the fascinating story of the world's most efficient bulk transportation system, describing the Great Lakes freighters, the cargoes of the great ships ,and the men and women who have served as crew. He documents the dramatic changes that have taken places in the industry and looks at the critical role that Great Lakes shipping plays in the economic well-being of the U.S. and Canada, despite the fact tat the size of the fleet and the amount of cargo carried have declined dramatically in recent years. Spanning more than three centuries, from LaSalle's voyage in 1679, through 1975 with the mysterious sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, to life aboard today's thousand-foot behemoths, this important volume documents the evolution of the industry through its "Golden Age" at the end of the nineteenth century to the present, with a downsized U.S. fleet that numbers fewer than seventy vessels.

Book Synopsis Ready to Come About by : Sue Williams
Download or read book Ready to Come About written by Sue Williams and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2019-05-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three hundred nautical miles from shore, I‘m cold and sick and afraid. I pray for reprieve. I long for solid ground. And I can‘t help but ask myself, What the hell was I thinking? When Sue Williams set sail for the North Atlantic, it wasn’t a mid-life crisis. She had no affinity for the sea. And she didn’t have an adventure-seeking bone in her body. In the wake of a perfect storm of personal events, it suddenly became clear: her sons were adults now; they needed freedom to figure things out for themselves; she had to get out of their way. And it was now or never for her husband, David, to realize his dream to cross an ocean. So she’d go too. Ready to Come About is the story of a mother’s improbable adventure on the high seas and her profound journey within, through which she grew to believe that there is no gift more precious than the liberty to chart one’s own course, and that risk is a good thing ... sometimes, at least.

Book Synopsis Sailing Under Sealed Orders by : Jack Branson
Download or read book Sailing Under Sealed Orders written by Jack Branson and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes God leads us in ways that are unclear or confusing. The path we're expected to travel is obscure, incomplete, contrary to logic, filled with delays and detours, or the total opposite of what we've prayed for. His presence is all we have. And our nothing-but-God times teach us that God is all we need. SAILING UNDER SEALED ORDERS is a guide for trusting God through uncertain times and following His leading when it makes no sense from an earthly perspective. In a time when everyday life is scary, we need a guide to sail through uncharted waters. Only with supernatural strength can we face the journey without fear or worry and live in a state of mind and spirit called peace. Peace is possible in the middle of war, disease, and tragedy because peace is not the absence of trouble. It's the absence of struggle.
Book Synopsis A Family Outing in the Atlantic by : Jill Schinas
Download or read book A Family Outing in the Atlantic written by Jill Schinas and published by Imperator Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she set off to cross the Atlantic as part of a delivery crew, Jill Dickin Schinas had no idea that she was embarking on a whole new life, but within a week of setting out she and the skipper were making plans for a journey to Cape Horn. One year later the couple were on their way but had detoured up the Amazon to get married. Two years after that they were crossing the Atlantic again, this time from the Caribbean and this time with the ship's company enlarged by the addition of a two year old son and a babe in arms. Together the little family then headed directly for the Falkland Islands and the southern tip of South America - travelling via the Bahamas, the Azores, Portugal, the Canaries, Cape Verde, Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Sao Tome and Principe, Uruguay, Argentina, and various tenanted and untenanted islets and lumps of rock cast adrift in the Atlantic Ocean. Seven years after setting out, they almost reached their destination... On the face of it, this book is a travelogue, but it is also a portrait of the cruising lifestyle- the hand-to-mouth, alternative lifestyle, not the early-retirement luxury cruise. Yes, we were bound for Cape Horn... in as much as we had a destination, this indeed was it. But we were in no great hurry, and even this goal was viewed as little more than a staging post on our journey, for we meant to journey indefinitely. Truly, it was not a place but a lifestyle which we were setting forth to find. The family's adventures range from fighting gales and battling with immigration officials, to exploring uncharted African waters and abandoning ship to board a chopper via the winch cable. There is much in here that will beof value to other yachtsmen and other travellers, and heaps which will appeal to armchair voyagers and to families seeking to turn away from the nine-to-five motorway and tread a road of their own. Contains 31 pen-and-ink drawings and cartoons. Includes a brief glossary for people not conversant with sailing terminology. By the author of Kids in the Cockpit (a guide to sailing and cruising with children). The Schinas family are talented people. Theres nothing on the planet that Nick cant fix, while Jill is an artist of character. The children are developing in the same mould, but the overriding feature of all their lives and the guiding spirit of this book, is their self-sufficiency and courage to make their own choices, come fair weather or foul. Casting fate to the ocean winds without visible means of support in the third millennium demands a lot more guts than ever it did thirty years ago. Keeping going, despite producing three fine children and surviving a capsize off the Falklands that ended on the winch cable of an RAF helicopter, shows the true spirit of seafaring. TOM CUNLIFFE

Book excerpt: Sailing, one of the most ancient methods of transport and exploration, is becoming more and more extreme. Technological advancements mean that vessels are getting faster while sailors are better equipped than ever to conquer the elements and explore uncharted waters with sophisticated satellite navigation systems. This sailing subculture thrives on adrenaline, with sailors seeing just how far they can push their boats and crew. Today’s sailors have an insatiable desire to smash records and make history, conquering near-impossible weather conditions and treacherous icy waters in the process. Maritime marathons such as The Race, in which competitors circumnavigate the globe in as fast a time as possible, are springing up around the globe and attracting more and more fearless individuals. 'Extreme Sail' is a circumnavigation of the most extreme maritime feats – including the Vendée Globe, the Sydney-Hobart, The America's Cup and the Ostar. Engaging text is accompanied by visually breathtaking photographs capturing the true spirit of extreme sailing and the book was shortlisted for Best Illustrated Book at the 2007 British Sports Book Awards. There are also quotes throughout from sailors who have participated in extreme events and a gazetteer at the back of the book gives information on all the races, events and competitions mentioned.
