Download or read book A SAIL ABOARD WALKABOUT written by ALAN LONG and published by Alan Long. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I couldn’t decide on the direction I wanted to take these memories that would be the most fulfilling. ‘How To’ books are all over the place, and boating is just like fishing or whatever, no matter what you think you know...someone else knows more and better...and it’s true, they do! Maybe make it a novel? No, I’m not that good at making things up. I decided to make it an adventure type of autobiography story/novel with some sex thrown in because everyone told me ‘sex sells’...the feelings and emotions were real...not made up, and that’s even better. Whew...glad to have made a decision.

Download or read book Sailing to the Edge of Time written by John Kretschmer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Kretschmer is sailing's practical philosopher – as much a doer as a thinker. And that is the overarching theme of this chronicle of a sailing life. Often amusing, sometimes poignant, occasionally terrifying but always inspiring, his deeply personal account is a welcome reminder of the good life waiting at sea. With hundreds of thousands of nautical miles under his keel, John's adventures have taken him several times around the world, with challenging crossings of the Atlantic and the Pacific, a narrow escape from a coup in Yemen, an unlikely deliverance from a coral reef off Belize as well as more serene, introspective passages where trade winds are blowing and stories are flowing. His crew has included CEOs, actors, writers, teachers, kids – in essence, everyone. John's narrative is interwoven with practical tips and advice in seamanship, but also, and just as importantly, his hard-won insights about making the most of our lives. He truly believes we find out who we really are, and what we are capable of, far from the shackles of land, when we find a place where time changes shape – days may merge into one another, but minutes are memorable. To live adventurously is to live more fully, and that is the life John Kretschmer continues to live. In this book he shares his simple profundities that will inspire those who live to sail, and those seeking something more rewarding from life.

Download or read book On Board RMS Titanic written by George Behe and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the very first book in which Titanic’s passengers and crewmen are permitted to tell the story of the disaster entirely in their own words via the texts of letters, postcards, diary entries and memoirs that were written before, during and immediately after the maiden voyage itself. Many of the pre-sailing documents were written by people who later lost their lives in the sinking and represent the last communications that these people ever had with their friends and loved ones at home. These letters and postcards give an unparalleled description of the events that occurred during the five days that Titanic was at sea, and the communications that were written by survivors after the sinking describe the horror of the disaster itself and the heartbreak they experienced at the loss of their loved ones. This moving book, by Titanic expert George Behe, also contains brief biographies of the passengers ? victims as well as survivors ? who wrote the documents in question.
Download or read book All Standing written by Kathryn Miles and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enthralling, true tale of a celebrated “coffin ship” that ran between Ireland and America in the 1840s: “By turns harrowing and heartwarming…All Standing salvages the treasure of a history lost at sea” (J.C. Hallman, author of The Devil Is a Gentleman). More than one million immigrants fled the Irish famine for North America—and more than one hundred thousand of them perished aboard the “coffin ships” that crossed the Atlantic. But one small ship never lost a passenger. All Standing recounts the remarkable tale of the Jeanie Johnston and her ingenious crew, whose eleven voyages are the stuff of legend. Why did these individuals succeed while so many others failed? And what new lives in America were the ship’s passengers seeking? In this deeply researched and powerfully told story, acclaimed author Kathryn Miles re-creates life aboard this amazing vessel, richly depicting the bravery and defiance of its shipwright, captain, and doctor—and one Irish family’s search for the American dream.
