To Windward: The Story Of A Stormy Course (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432662684)

To Windward: The Story of a Stormy Course by Henry C. Rowland is a book that tells the story of the author's sailing trip from New York to Bermuda and back. The book is a personal account of the challenges and adventures that Rowland experienced during his journey. The author describes the difficulties of sailing against the wind, navigating through storms and rough seas, and dealing with mechanical failures. He also shares his observations of the natural world, including encounters with whales and other sea creatures. Throughout the book, Rowland reflects on the lessons he learned from his experiences and the ways in which they helped him to grow and develop as a sailor and as a person. The book is both an exciting adventure story and a thoughtful reflection on the power of nature and the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
