Man was a sailor long before he invented the wheel or straddled a horse, and his adventures at sea changed the course of history. Initially he was able to sail only downwind, but the Cretans and Phoenicians made design improvements to sails that permitted sailing across and eventually against the wind. The Vikings optimized the performance of the square sail, and the Dutch modified the Arab lateen to create the sail commonly used today. Leo Block tells the story of the evolution of sails and relates it to historic events and other factors that affected the performance of sailing vessels. Numerous illustrations help explain the technical factors involved. Focusing mainly on European improvements, Block details the progress of sail design from the lateen to the square, fore and aft, and classic rigs right up to the swift clipper ships of the nineteenth century just before the advent of steam power. Written in laymen's terms, the book is an excellent learning tool for readers who know little about the history of sailing vessels and a quick reference guide for sailors who want a reminder of how their craft evolved.

Lucas and Grant Sievers struggle to keep their farms from going under due to unusually cold weather, raiding Mohawks, and cattle thieves. While Grant’s health is slowly failing, Lucas does the unthinkable. He gets his nephew’s wife pregnant. He comes up with a plan for her to keep her newborn child and his father’s identity a secret. Sam and John set out on a journey of a lifetime. They travel around the world in a ship looking for Adam. Early on they decided that they were going to try new things and that neither would tell on the other what sins they commit. Neither one is prepared for the sacrifices they will have to make. Sam runs into some of the women he bedded while he was a slave during the war. And John embraces life on ship wholeheartedly, including living with another man. Adam never felt comfortable living on the farm. He is more suited for life on a ship, becoming the fiercest pirate in the south seas. The last thing he expects is to run into his brothers as he overtakes their ship.

Wind in My Sails is a journey through the eyes of a young Friesland girl, Sjoukje. A coming of age story set in the midst of war. The timeless tale of the need of finding one's inner strength even when one cannot control their situation. Though a work of fiction, it is based on a true story. I believe one that bears telling.

It's 1939. The United States Government has sent a letter to the Boonstra family insisting that they leave their beloved Friesland. Twelve-year-old Sjoukje's father, an American citizen, will surely be killed once the enemy invades. Added to this upheaval is the knowledge, she illicitly gains, that her father doesn't love her. He never wanted children. With heavy heart the family struggles to get the proper papers, and then faces the perils of wartime travel when they barely escape being killed by a mine explosion in Rotterdam Harbor. Boarding a train, their arduous adventure continues through Belgium, France and Italy. A race against time toward safety in the strange land called America.
