Where Wild Winds Blow: Two modern day explorers deeply in love

4/5 ( ratings)

What was our most frightening moment, our greatest storm, did we ever get attacked by pirates? And what was it like raising children afloat from infancy to year eleven? In Where Wild Winds Blow, we recall unforgettable highlights while exploring the Australian islands and coastline exposed to the Great Southern Ocean aboard Banyandah.
Our journey begins at an easy pace wandering down the New South Wales coast reliving memories from our earliest sailing days. Then it explodes into action when we explore Flinders Island in the Bass Strait. Jack and Jude again do the unexpected by walking forty kilometers along a rain forest railroad to investigate one hundred years of mine pollution of the King River. Exposing environmental disasters to help Earth will always be a major focus, but it’s back to action and drama when we explore the unique Great Australian Bight. And then again when we fight for our lives sailing back across the Great Southern Ocean.
Inside Where Wild Winds Blow, Australia’s earliest explorers share their perspective on places we encounter on our journey. And similar to Sir Francis Chichester, Jack and Jude bare their fears and intimacies. They also enjoy being evocative to stimulate dreaming and give justice to the amazing wonder of Earth. Plus, there is technical advice simply explained for real life and armchair sailors. Fully illustrated with color photos and maps.
