Finding Pax: Expanded edition

About this book

Finding Pax is a story of discovery and reconnection like no other. Having fallen hopelessly in love with a 1930s Danish spidsgatter a beautifully constructed 28 ft wooden double-ender Kaci Cronkhite embarked on an international search to unravel the mystery of the boats past and discovered the many lives Pax touched since she first hit the water in 1936. Kaci Cronkhites seven year search for Paxs history is an elegant little gem taking the reader aboard not only for sublime wind-filled sails but also to eavesdrop the conversations and relationships that are built as she learns more about Paxs past whilst hugely enjoying her present. The writing is poetic spare and full of wisdom. "The boat appeared when I didnt expect or frankly need her. My bucket list was empty. Life was fullBut sailing towards me was a boat that would stir the waters waking decades of loss revealing history untold and restoring a legacy that was lost in the wind. For her and for me I had to wade into that water. I had to go to search to find."
