Books Lin Pardey and her husband Larry
are internationally famous for their sailing adventures. But in 1980 they came to California looking for a good spot to build a boat, test Lin‘s skills as a writer and taste the apparent security life ashore could offer. Nestled in a rocky outcropping of winding, sparsely populated dirt roads, 60 miles from the sea and 50 miles from Los Angeles, Bull Canyon would seem an unlikely place for boat-building.

One of the most majestic
vessels on the high seas today and the only active square rigger in the U.S. fleet, Eagle draws huge crowds in any port that she calls. This fourth edition of Eagle Seamanhip, A manual for Square-Rigger Sailing, on square rigger sailing is the first revision in more than twenty years. It brings
love at first sight. There was plenty of room to build a boat, not to mention peace, quiet, and an abundance of natural beauty. They knew they'd come home. Bull Canyon would bring them joy, victories and failures but also packrats in the pantries, flooding rains, the occasional cougar, and an oddball collection of neighbors. Lin takes readers on a voyage landlocked, but a voyage nonetheless
together the several changes in rigging and procedures that allow the 75-year-old Eagle to continue to sail. As America's emissary to the tall ship fleet, Eagle sails each summer to destinations, with thousands following her journeys online.
The manual has long been the reference of choice for Eagle crewmembers,
Lowtide
of the heart, sharing candidly and with great humor the four years she and her determined husband spent in Bull Canyon. Bull Canyon is the story
of two dreamers and schemers who have taken life by the horns and bring the reader along for the wild and joyous ride.
