Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of many voyages.There is the meandering trail that leads to the right boat for crossing an ocean. There is the preparation stalled in a sweltering American boatyard while arguments about equipment and finance combine with the narrowing of the hurricane window. There is the crossing itself which starts with the wrong weather, broken boat parts, torn sails, serious leaks and a very seasick crew as Scarlet gets blown off course in unkind seas.Male and female monologues form the internal voyages. The skipper's thoughts range from the challenges of fitting a wind vane to almost losing an arm in a tangled genoa to the navigational system of the Puluwat Islanders. His wife describes diminishing supplies, the damp, bruises, blue eggs, jellyfish and her anxiety about the deteriorating health of her son who, suffering from ME, should not have been persuaded to go with them.External and internal journeys criss-cross as Scarlet sails on across 3000 miles of ocean. She would have told a different story.

Book Synopsis A Thousand Miles from Anywhere by : Sandra Clayton
Download or read book A Thousand Miles from Anywhere written by Sandra Clayton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Dolphins Under My Bed and Turtles in Our Wake comes the third leg of the Claytons' voyage, two early retirees who decided to live life sailing from place to place to fulfil their dream. Told uniquely from the wife's perspective, Sandra Clayton was initially a reluctant sailor, but became a keen yachtswoman by the end of the first book when the couple sailed from the UK to the Mediterranean. In this installment she describes their transatlantic crossing, from Gibraltar via the Atlantic Islands to the Caribbean, and ending up in Fort Lauderdale. Sandra's previous two books have attracted a loyal and growing readership both in the UK and the US, no doubt due to her engaging writing style. A Thousand Miles from Anywhere is a similarly entertaining travelogue about the Claytons' experiences, detailing the wonderful places they visited, the fascinating people they met and the humorous situations they got involved in. Acclaim for Sandra's writing: 'With her eye for detail and vivid descriptions, Sandra carries the reader with her' - Yachting Life
Download or read book When the Blue Goes written by Robert Nash and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So little is known about the poet Robert Nash. Until the 21st century, when his poems were discovered in a French basement, he remained undiscovered. The poems had been written in Maine and sent to Nash’s friend in France, to be discovered by the friend’s son decades later in a suitcase. Nash emigrated to America from Sussex, England, when he was a child. He lived in Maine with his wife Catriona and son Lee, and likely didn’t turn to writing poetry until his life took a tragic turn. Lee was killed in 1974 in Vietnam. Catriona died two years later. On May 31, 1995, one week after writing his last dated poem, Robert Nash disappeared. Anything else about Nash’s life is speculation and hypothesis. No trace has ever been found and no family or heirs have claimed him. But the poems he left behind demonstrate a true mastery of the craft and reveal his profound solitude and his intimate and healing relationship with nature. In his introduction, former Maine Poet Laureate finds Nash’s place in the Maine literary canon. Robert Nash has come home. Originally written in French (for his friend who didn’t speak English) and published in France in three separate volumes, these poems have been lovingly translated back to the poet’s native language by Françoise Canter.
Download or read book After the Crash written by David Pickford and published by Vertebrate Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Pickford's After the Crash and other stories is a collection of nine short stories that will take you from The Door to the River to the wildest reaches of the Sahara in The Jahannam's Lair; on board Twenty Red Twenty, the first manned mission to Mars, and into the labyrinth of Cain and Abel's psycho-drama in The End of the Past. Five of the stories compose a series of vividly descriptive episodes of mountain literature, where the perilous conditions of the adventurous life are explored and questioned, extreme skiers are tested to the limit, an alpinist suddenly finds himself marooned high in the Himalaya after a plane crash, the border between myth and reality is blurred during a long solo climb, and a tragic mystery is solved by a lone climber who reassembles the lost pieces of The Map of Thunder Canyon. The remaining four stories range from the visionary dreams of a child to the ideology of a Waziristani jihadist. Controversial, poetic, melancholy, original and thought provoking, each story is revealed in just enough detail to let your imagination conceive what might happen next.
