Book Synopsis Sailing with the Stars by : Tony Harris
Download or read book Sailing with the Stars written by Tony Harris and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-07-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detective thriller, packed with action and suspense, for the young, both boys and girls, the young at heart, and those who wish they still were. Care has been taken to ensure the non-nautical reader won't feel all at sea, so to give these shipmates a hand, the sometimes unusual phraseology is explained. But the author does want you to really feel you are climbing the ratlines, hauling yourself up by your cold hands grasping the greasy rigging, whilst you look up at the mast head swaying across the dark threatening clouds, before climbing onto the yardarm to bundle up the sail. It's also possible that some might think the idea of Knights Templar being involved is just a bit fanciful. Be assured there are still some afloat today. In this case, four teenage pupils from the Knights Templar School in the west of England (yes, it does exist!) outwit a criminal gang, the police and the customs, but delight the intelligence agencies.
Book Synopsis SAILING BY THE STARS by : JEAN O. TINECHI
Download or read book SAILING BY THE STARS written by JEAN O. TINECHI and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human being, with an average lifespan of less than nine decades, is born onto a planet that is billions of years old. Yet humans spend this minuscule amount of time fighting, cheating and hating each other all in an attempt to own the earthly materials that have been, and will always be here. Using a fictionalized setting, the author, Jean O. Tinechi, suggests that this human characteristic has persisted over the millennia due to a civilization built on a misguided education. Johnny Maku is an intelligent teenage boy thrust into a luxury cruise ship to Alaska where he meets an equally intelligent and ravishingly beautiful teenage girl, Sandra Peters. Like a storm, his thoughts, events and feeling pummel this shy young man for the next eight days. It is not until the very end that he realizes he had just been on a journey through life.

Book excerpt: For over one hundred and fifty years, the America's Cup has been the premier prize as yachtsmen have been pitted against sailors from around the world in an effort to win this prestigious race. The race takes its name from the champion schooner America, which was created due in large part to the efforts of New York Yacht Club founder John Cox Stevens. Author Richard V. Simpson sheds new light on long-forgotten stories of the early quests for the coveted Cup. Among the notable yachtsmen profiled are Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, who earned a special award for being the race's best loser, and Ted Hood, who owned a sail-making company that developed the Dacron cloth from which the twelve-meter sails were cut. This history comes to life with exciting descriptions of the yachts, the races and the colorful personalities of those who longed to capture the greatest prize in yacht racing.
