Publisher Description
In the beginning, Addie Greene is afraid to climb a mast, even at dock, or change sails on a bucking foredeck washed with breaking waves. Yet as she and her young husband take on the “great adventure” of circumnavigation in a 28-foot boat, a succession of catastrophes demands that she become the driving force in carrying them forward and eventually safely home.
How the Winds Laughed sails on the wings of hope, fear, anger, and love across three oceans and more than 30,000 miles. A coming-of-age quest, it drenches the dreams of Don Quixote with the ignoble reality of Sancho Panza

How the Winds Laughed
I have read many accounts of sea voyages and adventures. This is one of the very best. Addie Greene provides an honest and engrossing chronicle of her incredible experience on the high seas and in the remote corners of the southern world. She proves that a small, vulnerable woman can overcome the most demanding circumstances when her male partner fails the task.
She also masters the art and science of sailing which makes her narrative much more significant than a mere travelogue.
