Taleisin's Tales captures a sweet moment in the sailing career of
"the first couple of cruising"--a time when Lin and Larry didn't
quite know their boat, or each other in it; a time when Taleisin
was still a fair-weather craft whose dinghy threatened to come
loose in the first blow and whose locker latches still failed to
secure their contents; a time before two mere mortals had grown
into the legends they would become. Through forty years of writing,
Lin Pardey's gift has always been to capture the joyful metaphysics
of an adventuresome love affair in the bronze-and-wood details of
boomkins and bobstays. Talesin's Tales takes us through the early
steps, uncertain at first but ever more confidently toward farther
horizons, steps that ultimately lead to the one shared life which
just may turn out to be the happiest in all of our voyaging
literature." --Tim Murphy "Cruising World "
"I'm not sure which writer I admire more: the young girl in lust
with tomorrow's cruise or the respected sailing sage looking back
on a life well lived on a small boat cluttered with large dreams.
One thing I know is that Lin's pen has been whispering to me for
over forty years now--and this is one of her best."--Author,
voyager "Cap't Fatty Goodlander "
"Lin Pardey has done it again! Her first full-length cruising
narrative in many years is as fresh and relevant as those tales
that entertained and inspired a generation of sailors decades ago.
Once you step aboard, you won't want to step off again."--Charley
