Bill Mayer, Maine USA, writer, co-founder Offcenterharbor.com

“Please accept my slavishly-grateful thanks for your good humor, infinite enthusiasm and hard work on three Australian Wooden Boat Festivals.  You are always welcome on our little island far away.”

PRAISE FOR FINDING PAX

  • A triumph! Reminds us that boats reflect the soul and character of the people who build, maintain, restore, and sail them.

    Ross Anderson, Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist, Seattle Times

  • A love affair, a quest, and adventure - that is what happened when a woman broke her promise and bought a wooden boat.

    Lin Pardey, ocean sailor and author, Storm Tactics Handbook

  • The commitment, the struggles, the diversions, the revelations, and the joy of discovery on every page.

    Tom Dunlop, Author of Reflections on Martha’s Vineyard

  • An excellent read to inspire you to follow your own dreams, whatever they may be.

    Carolyn B. Leonard, award-winning author The First Hundred Years in America.

  • Stayed on point all the way through. At the end, you're saying yes, these are women's lives that are rarely, if ever, mentioned in narratives by men.

    Jan Halliday, Author of Native Peoples of the Northwest

  • Hidden history deepens into something far more profound than boat lust. A reflective and literate diary crossed with a mystery.

    Lawrence W. Cheek, author, The Year of the Boat
