Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Dreams and Dreamers follows the author’s previous offering, Of Dreams and Mermaids. Here too, we celebrate the everyday, the everything and the nothing. Here too, we pay obeisance to the vastness of Creation that is much larger than we imagine. We are much larger than we imagine, intertwined inextricably in Creation itself. This special book of verses is a healing balm to aching souls, a silent refuge for a busy mind, and a constant friend through life’s many experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should you read this book? Yes, it is a classic. Yes, it documents the wonderful, adventurous time of the clipper ship. But thats not why you should read it. Richard Henry Dana must have been a most extraordinary man. While attending Harvard as a young man, his eyesight became weak and his health declined. He decided that the austere prescription of salt air and plain hard work would be the cure. Not many would give up comfort and privelege, but for two years, Dana served as a common sailor, given no special treatment as the gentleman he was, and lived in the forecastle of the Alert, eating the mess of salt beef and common hardtack, risking his life and serving under a captain crueler than most. Dana was able to write in such a way as to re-create the life on board a sailing ship, down to the smallest details and thats what makes this book so real and touching. You can feel the cold of Tierra del Fuego, taste the salt beef, and feel the wind and damp. Whats more amazing is that Danas carefully-kept journal was lost along with his other mementos of his voyage when he landed back on shore in Boston, due to some tragic carelessness of someone he entrusted with his chest of belongings. Yet he was able to recreate his voyage in loving detail and in some very excellent writing. Danas later life as a lawyer was far from happy, though he made some critical contributions to maritime law. He died a poor and disappointed man, but left us the richer with his book. I just re-read it again for the tenth time, and it is fresher than ever. Read it along side of Moby Dick. Its American literature and American history and culture at its very best.

Book excerpt: "The author 'shipped out of Boston in 1834 on the "Pilgrim" and sailed around the Horn to California on a hide-trading expedition. The book is based on the journal he kept during the voyage. Horrified by the brutal captain's mistreatment of the sailors, and shocked by their lack of redress, Dana wrote with a burning indignation that did much to rouse the public to the mariners' plight.'"

But neither of them has ever been on a sailboat, so first they buy a boat and circumnavigate Vancouver Island while they learn to sail it. The preparation is long and hard, the voyage often demanding, and the adventure life changing. Still, there are days and nights of pure magic along the way, while the islands visited are a bonus, providing access to peoples and cultures only previously imagined.
