Download Bull Canyon: A Boatbuilder, a Writer and Other Wildlife AudioBook Free
In the tradition of A Calendar year in Provence, Lin Pardey - renowned for her sailing narratives - takes you on a voyage of the heart, sharing her and her hubby Larry's remarkable story of homesteading with identical parts candor and laughter. Internationally known for their sailing travels, in 1980 - fresh from an 11-yr voyage where they forged the first years of their matrimony on high seas and in unique locales - Lin and Larry Pardey arrived to California looking for a good location to build a vessel, test Lin's skills as a writer, and taste the apparent security life ashore can offer. Nestled in a rocky outcropping of sparsely filled dirt roads 60 miles from the ocean and 50 miles from LA, Bull Canyon would seem an unlikely place for boat-building. Yet when Lin and Larry set sight on the abandoned stone cottage at the top of a rutted dusty lane, it was love initially sight. The home was certainly a fixer-upper, but there is lots of room to construct the vessel which would become their soon-to-be-famed Lyle Hess designed cutter Taleisin. This remarkable publication tells the story charmingly and engagingly - as only Lin Pardey can.
