Passages: Cape Horn and Beyond
is a story of challenging passages and ones that embody the romance we all seek by going to sea. At the same time, it is a memoir. As Lin and Larry Pardey sailed north from Cape Horn to Canada, then westward across the Pacific, Lin had to discover ways to weather the emotional passages that come with growing older. This book chronicles the last years Lin and Larry shared, Lin’s solo adventures that followed and, eventually, the romance and challenge of building a new life and voyaging onward with David after he sailed in to anchor near Lin’s island home. A story that is sure to appeal to sailors of all generations as Lin pours her heart out to share tales of gales and calms, and adventures small and large. It is a love story -- of sailing, of the sea, and of two wonderful men who shared Lin’s life.
