'The boat appeared when I didn't expect or, frankly, need her. My bucket list was empty. Life was full...But sailing towards me was a boat that would stir the waters, waking decades of loss, revealing history untold, and restoring a legacy that was lost in the wind. For her and for me, I had to wade into that water. I had to go, to search, to find.' Having fallen hopelessly in love with a 1930s Danish spidsgatter, a beautifully constructed 25 ft wooden double-ender, Kaci embarks on an international search to unravel the mystery of the boat's past, and discovers the many lives Pax touched since she first hit the water in 1936. Kaci Cronkhite's seven year search for Pax's history is an elegant little gem, taking the reader aboard not only for sublime, wind-filled sails but also to eavesdrop the conversations and relationships that are built as she learns more about Pax's past, whilst hugely enjoying her present. Finding Pax is a story of discovery and reconnection like no other. The writing is poetic, spare, and full of wisdom: 'In sailing, in weather, in life and death, answers are not endings and questions are not to be feared. The unknowns keep us moving forward.'

Finding Pax is a fast-paced memoir of mystery, searching, determination, and discovery like no other. Around the world sailor, writer, and traveler Kaci Cronkhite knew better than to buy a wooden boat. But, in 2007, smitten by the voluptuous curves of a beautiful 28-foot Danish spidsgatter--she did. "The boat appeared when I didn't expect or, frankly, need her. My bucket list was empty. Life was full." Within days of import to Port Townsend, Washington from British Columbia, Canada, the boat became the focus of an evolving mystery. One after another, people drawn to the boat began to ask questions and offer hints, tips, and stories from sightings from in remote Vancouver Island, 1980s California, and 1930s-50s Denmark. Stirred by decades of lost history and history untold Kaci embarked on a seven-year investigative research journey-from Canada and the United States back to Denmark which inspired generations. This is a love story about a woman and a boat, written in prose that is poetic, spare and full of wisdom. A brave, inspiring story about following questions wherever they may lead and accepting the unknowns. Finding PAX was a Shortlist Finalist for The Mountbatten Awards Best Book of the Year 2018.

After a turbulent century characterized by vast bloodshed, but also by the spread of democratic government and humane values, the author suggests that the great democracies - led by Britain, France, Germany, Japan and the United States - should form an intercontinental community of democracies - a Pax Democratica according to the author. He argues that such a union will culminate centuries of evolution in world order: from empires to balance-of-power Realpolitik , more recently from cooperative international institutions to an era of supranational communities, composed of likeminded peoples and organized around democratic principles.

Since writing the previous edition of Storm Tactics Handbook, Lin and Larry have voyaged an additional 55,000 miles. This has taken them as far north as Norway, twice across the Atlantic, south to Argentina and into the Pacific, around Cape Horn contrary to the prevailing winds then on a North Pacfic circuit. With insights gained from these recent voyages, they have fully revised and expanded this text by more than 40% including seven completely new chapters – among them;
Lessons from Cape Horn,
An interview on storm survival and heaving to with the late Sir Peter Blake,
Heaving-to using a Gale Rider on 55 foot Morgan’s Cloud,
Adding Rudder Protection Stops.
Discussions on avoiding chafe, building and using storm staysails, choosing storm gear, when to deploy para-anchors, tactics for avoiding the worst areas of cyclonic storms and many more have been expanded to answer questions posed by readers and seminar attendees.
