The Age of the Great Sail when empires were won and lost at sea--
That’s where I’ll be today folks, researching my work-in-progress.

Open the covers of one of these books for young people and join me at the prow. Feel the wind in your face, hear the slapping canvas and taste the salt spray.

Meet Sophie as her mysterious past is revealed on a perilous cross-Atlantic journey. Or travel back in time to the famous Battle of Trafalgar as seen through the eyes of a boy on Lord Nelson's ship.

Take a sail with Patrick O'Brien on Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, or Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind.

I plan to vicariously follow a friend as he sails to Antarctica aboard the Dutch tall ship Europa. Curious about life aboard a tall sailing ship? Check out the video below.

All those sails and ropes look so intimidating. It must take years to learn all the ins and outs of sailing. One must have to be so familiar with their own ship and of course the wind itself. I have great respect for the sailor!
