An outstanding book on sailing Lake Superior.

Marlin Bree has authored an outstanding book about sailing on Lake Superior. Call Of The North Wind: Voyages & Adventures On Lake Superior is the story of Bree's crisscrossing Lake Superior in his home-built 20-foot wood sailboat and a 35-foot catamaran. Call Of The North Wind weaves stories of adventure, travel and history along with reconstructions of unusual shipwrecks and doomed crews, voyaging the lake on a Viking ship, tracking a sunken vessel, watching another boat sink, facing storms, and meeting interesting people living alongside the lake.

One sailor 's adventures on the world's greatest lake

Storms, shipwrecks, waterfront characters --- all on Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake. This is a fascinating story of a chilly frontier of water and weather. Sail magazine rated this sailor's previous book (In the Teeth of the Northeaster: A solo voyage on Lake Superior) as "...fascinating." I hope other readers will find it so, too!
