In Women Who Sail’s climate change newsletter last fall, we offered resources and book recs, to which I’d like to add Clyde Ford’s Boat Green. It’s a compact handbook that reminds sailors how to be part of the solution, not the problem. A longtime Pacific Northwest mariner, Ford lays out numerous ways we can make sure our vessels are operating safely, efficiently, and with minimal pollution. From holding tanks to power systems, from oil changes to fueling up, Ford goes through all a boat’s systems and explores, with even-handed, non-preachy, practical advice, how to do it greener. This is a great book to keep onboard for reference (how far should I stay away from whales again?) or pass around the marina so others can imbibe these pithy, easy-to-read chapters. (And when you’re done learning how to treat our waterways better, check out Ford’s memoir, Think Black, about how he took a different tack through life than his father, who was the first African-American software engineer at IBM.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1619386998992-JA7DSO9LXV6AJRU9VHBV/Sea+Over+Bow+book+by+Linda+Kenyon Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - Sea over Bow: An Atlantic Crossing by Linda Kenyon “The only thing more foolish than a middle-aged woman taking up horseback riding is a fifty-year-old running away with a sailor.” After a painful divorce, Linda Kenyon decides she will never risk loving again, but when she meets a kind, handsome sailor who’s prepping for a big cruise, she jumps aboard with him. If this sounds like a romance, it is! And I must say, Sea Over Bow delighted me! The narrative takes place in a single Atlantic crossing where Kenyon reflects back on her life, her family members, their heartbreaking health issues, and what she’s learned—and continues to learn—from them all. Like: “Sometimes the weight of being the one who got away is almost unbearable.” But get away Kenyon does, and we get to watch her grow in ocean knowledge, skill, and confidence. While the family flashbacks were a bit jarring at first, I quickly got used to the style and appreciated how these reflections deepened Kenyon’s voyage. She brings her whole self to this crossing and, with crisp writing, beautiful description, gripping action, and a wry sense of humor, she brings us along with her. I fell head over heels for this book! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603312081698-1VO1YAIG31P3C4P9GVQT/Janna+headshot+w+daughters.jpeg Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - janna cawrse esarey Janna is a sailor, author, and speaker focusing on helping people pursue B-HAGs: big, hairy, audacious goals. She is an Integrated Life Advocate with ThirdPath, an organization that helps folks redesign work and home to make time for life. Janna’s first book, The Motion of the Ocean, is about how she sailed across the Pacific on her honeymoon and is still married. She’s working on a new memoir about how navigating modern parenthood is more perilous than sailing the Arctic with kids (she’s tried, and sort of failed at, both). Janna lives with her husband and two daughters on an island near Seattle where she is also a school bus driver.

Not only is she dreadfully seasick, but her beloved dogs are too. So, she and her partner sell the monohull and, after a foray into van-life, end up on a catamaran instead. Plunge follows Collaert’s adventures in love, travel, and dogs—gotta love her dogs!—overland and at sea. Collaert is a strong writer whose sentences hit their mark; the fact that she’s not writing in her first language (she’s Belgian and grew up speaking French) is a stunner. Throughout the book, Collaert and her husband navigate various storms—marital, meteorological, financial, health—and even several dust-ups with U.S. immigration. Plunge is one woman’s story of the dogged persistence it takes to reach some of the world’s most beautiful places and to live a life that’s far from ordinary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1619387273016-EJQ9Q1MYZ6Q3XRU279WW/Sea+Wife+book+by+Amity+Gaige Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - Sea Wife: A Novel by Amity Gaige When I saw an excerpt of this novel in the New York Times last spring, I was intrigued but skeptical. As a sailor, I love books about the sea, and as a parent and partner, I’m drawn to tales of domestic life, but I worried about a novelist who, in her words, “had to learn to sail in order to write Sea Wife.” No need to fret. Gaige, whose prose is as layered as poetry, nails every detail of family life afloat; she must have cruised herself or gotten inside the skin of someone who did. I also loved how the sea here is not a cookie-cutter nemesis but a rich crucible for these fascinating characters: Juliet is a lover of literature who’s struggling to juggle motherhood, depression, and the realization that she and her husband are much further apart ideologically than either of them realized (a thread I found particularly fascinating in the age of Trump). Michael shares his perspective through the logbook he keeps, which becomes, not just a map of their physical voyage, but a portrait of his interior landscape—and a clue to a mystery. My only raised eyebrow came when Juliet’s voyage wrapped up a little too handily; IRL that’s when the real drama would have begun. ;) Still, Sea Wife was gorgeously written, extremely thought-provoking, and a total joy to read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1619386617981-BR23UDE4NT39HRBCZVUE/Voyaging+with+Kids+book+by+Gifford%2C+Johnson%2C+Robertson Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - Voyaging with Kids: A Guide to Family Life Afloat by Behan Gifford, Sarah Dawn Johnson, and Michael Robertson After sailing across the Pacific on our honeymoon, my husband and I were committed to cruising with kids someday, only it took a long time for “someday” to come. But as soon as it did, the book I reached for was this full-color, superbly organized, well-considered handbook by three parents in collaboration, including Women Who Sail’s own Behan Gifford. What’s great about the broad authorship—and the dozens of interviews they do with other crews—is that, no matter what age or stage, these sailors have your kids covered. From boatschooling to boundary-setting with naysayers, from safety strategies to adjusting to life afloat (and back), from standing watch to provisioning to sustaining relationships near and far, the tone is measured and respectful, encouraging and creative. I especially loved the section at the end where kids share their personal stories of cruising and its effect on their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1619387563666-VY6PABWDJ761L7HYGD2W/Cost+Conscious+Cruiser+book+by+Lin+and+Larry+Pardey Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - Cost Conscious Cruiser by Lin and Larry Pardey The knowledge of the seas comes to us from so many mariners who have sailed these waters before, and Lin and Larry Pardey are household names in the sailing world for good reason. In Cost Conscious Cruiser they teach us how world cruising can be accessible to more than just the rich and richer—a not-flashy but fulfilling lifestyle on a small budget with modest amenities and a committed crew. After being inspired by Cruising in Seraffyn and Taleisin's Tales, my husband and I dove into Capable Cruiser and The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew to prep for our first cruise. While cruising, I remember regularly dipping in and out of Storm Tactics, a reference we kept in the head for easy access. I also remember madly re-reading how to heave to in the middle of actually trying to heave to. Thank you, Lin and Larry, for your many decades of service; you’ve sparked and facilitated so many people’s sailing dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1619386729367-FQ2DA88H9LZULI0SXEFA/Sea+Trials+book+by+Wendy+Hinman Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - Sea Trials: Around the World with Duct Tape and Bailing Wire by Wendy Hinman A skillfully told story of perseverance, ingenuity, and grit, Sea Trials tells the true tale of an American family shipwrecked in Fiji in the 1970s. But it also describes a heroic five-year circumnavigation—for even after the shipwreck, the Wilcox family rebuilds and carries on. Hinman’s pacing keeps the story humming along and her eye for detail helps us savor the voyage. She relies on old letters, log books, newspaper clippings, and family interviews to recreate the journey. How did she access such personal materials? Well, she happens to be married to Garth Wilcox, the son who was just a teenager in the story! Together, Hinman and Wilcox also circumnavigate the Pacific as adults, which is a real hoot, but that story—Tightwads on the Loose—is a review for another day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1619387180071-5BW5DN9LZY1HM2AZSDGG/Black+Sun+book+by+Rebecca+Roanhorse Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse Speculative fiction is not my regular fare, but when I saw that Black Indigenous author Rebecca Roanhorse of Star Wars: Resistance Reborn fame had written a book that involved celestial navigation, I was intrigued. Black Sun (published fall 2020) explores a politically treacherous, geographically beautiful world full of magic inspired by the Pre-Columbian Americas; anyone who’s sailed the Caribbean will find Roanhorse’s land/seascapes easy to imagine. My favorite character, Xiala, is the female captain of an ocean-going canoe that must cross the sea in the off-season (gulp) and reach port by a specific date (double gulp) to deliver precious human cargo—not enslaved people, but another main character who (spoiler alert) turns out to be her love interest. This is a rich, character-driven epic fantasy in which racial/gender identities, sexual orientation, and cultural histories add depth to the action and layers to the political intrigue. My only complaint is that it ends on a total cliffhanger just when you’re coming to love the characters and hate their fates. Aggh, the agony of waiting for book two! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166479649-KYAABKGIW661AYU5VQQR/Astack+of+books+on+a+boat%27s+deck+at+anchor Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - Books buoy us.

(Cronkhite herself admits that with all the upkeep required, wooden-boaters are pretty much nuts.) I am none of the above (except maybe the nuts part) yet found myself wholly engrossed in the mystery-memoir that is Finding Pax. The curvy, eye-catching Pax comes to Cronkhite when, as she says, “I didn't expect or, frankly, need her.” And isn’t that how the best love stories begin? It turns out this little Danish spidsgatter (double-ender) has a long, shrouded, and, at times, tragic history. As Cronkhite unearths clues to each stage in Pax’s life—from her charming beginnings in Denmark to a fire in California to being rebuilt by a “mystery woman” on Vancouver Island—we ride along like sidekicks to a detective, encountering red herrings and fascinating folks along the way. Cronkhite is a fabulous writer who works magic in this book; Pax’s sweet mystery will enthrall even non-wooden boat nuts like me, and non-sailors, too. It’s that good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1619387380462-FCFF4R1S393P7FI679ED/Picture+showing+a+sailboat%27s+forestay+and+a+seascape+with+land+mass+jutting+up+on+either+side+of+the+image. Women Who Sail Blog - Sailing Book Reviews - April 2021 - A Cruiser’s Guide to Prince of Wales Island by Carol McCreary Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska is a lovely cruising area, but “location, location, location” isn’t why I’m recommending reading about POW (as Carol McCreary calls the remote island) specifically, or McCreary’s take on the Inside Passage generally. Rather, McCreary’s amazing blog Baggywrinkles is all about access, access, access and acknowledgment, acknowledgment, acknowledgment. McCreary herself is what she calls TAB (Temporarily Able-Bodied)—a moniker I appreciate for its humility and accuracy—while her husband and skipper, Jack, is what McCreary calls a “wheeler” (he uses a scooter). Up and down the Inside Passage, Carol and Jack have been documenting the accessibility and safety of cruising ports. How wide and stable are the docks? How is restroom access? What resources does a town offer? S/V Aurora shares all this alongside the standard cruisers’ fare of stunning photos, detailed descriptions, fascinating histories, and quirky locals. So, as we all get out on the water again and start writing up our own adventures, please take some tips from Carol and Jack’s blog: 1) Write inclusively for a broad audience, 2) Acknowledge a place’s history, culture, language, and heritage, 3) Ask permission for photos first, 4) Cite sources and provide links to local content, and above all, 5) Get curious. https://www.womenwhosail.com/blog/2021/2/16/sailing-alone-around-my-gender monthly 0.5 2023-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1613512013119-HB9R19UN44TB2C83I7SU/a+woman+with+glasses+and+a+sun+hat+with+a+lifejacket+on+a+boat+with+a+rainbow+sail.

Women Who Sail Blog - SAILING ALONE AROUND MY GENDER - Arwen aibhe Arwen is a 48 year old woman of trans experience, whose major claim to fame is a smart mouth and the fact that she survived a 20 year sentence in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club. She learned the basics of sailing on a Hobie 18 on El Vado Lake, in Northern New Mexico in about 1987. She joined the Navy in 1991 as an escape from the desert, and fell hard for the large blue wet thing we are always on about. It wasn't until retirement from the Navy that she acquired her first keel boat, a Tanzer 28. Fast forward many years, with a shiny new wife in tow, a pandemic underway, and a certain desperation to get out of the house, she bought a 1985 Hobie 16, and was soon bombing up and down the James River and annoying the more lubberly of the "Salon on a Stick" owners in Willoughby bay, mostly by laughing at their silly hats as she zipped by.

She is an Integrated Life Advocate with ThirdPath, an organization that helps folks redesign work and home to make time for life. Janna’s first book, The Motion of the Ocean, is about how she sailed across the Pacific on her honeymoon and is still married. She’s working on a new memoir about how navigating modern parenthood is more perilous than sailing the Arctic with kids (she’s tried, and sort of failed at, both). Janna lives with her husband and two daughters on an island near Seattle where she is also a school bus driver.

Plus, it makes the perfect gift for a cherished family member. Anne Phyfe Palmer, writer and yoga instructor, realized there was so much she wanted to know about her grandmother ... too late. Spurred by this loss, Palmer created a guided journal to make it easy and fun to record your life or a loved one's. From simple prompts ("Memorable furniture growing up") to fill-in-the-blanks ("My first bicycle") to introspective questions ("A time I was at a crossroads"), the journal draws out our unique stories. A meaningful gift illustrated tastefully for a woman or man, old or young. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166723981-311FW7VT5VI1VK6ZP079/Where+the+Sidewalk+Ends+by+Shel+Silverstein Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON GRIEF AND LOSS - Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein We all have our morning routines: Some people exercise. Some pray or meditate. Some gaze blearily into their coffee/newspaper/smartphone. My mom sits by the window and reads poetry aloud. So, when I asked her for an uplifting reading recommendation about grief and loss, she suggested an odd but old family standby: Shel Silverstein. He is the master of capturing the absurd realities of life (good, bad, ugly) while making you snort with laughter. Plus, for many of us, Where the Sidewalk Ends brings back memories of long-lost childhoods and family togetherness. No home is properly equipped without it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166745112-JT2G91A9H5NAEYEZ32H2/Departure+by+Janet+Stevenson Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON GRIEF AND LOSS - Departure by Janet Stevenson A Women Who Sail reader named Nancie emailed me recommending Departure, a novel by Janet Stevenson. Nancie writes, “The story takes place in the mid 1850s about a young woman, Amanda Bright, who accompanies her captain/husband on a merchant ship out of Boston bound for the Far East. During the voyage he becomes extremely ill and she assumes command knowing nothing about navigation, sailing or how to manage a crew. The story follows her struggles and her ability to overcome them. It's a wonderful story of empowerment. I loved it!” I loved it, too! I read it years ago on our first cruise across the Pacific. I include it here because, in the end, what’s lost is not their lives or the ship, as you expect, but something else entirely. Plus, if you have book recommendations like Nancie’s, please send them my way—especially books about sailing and the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166479649-KYAABKGIW661AYU5VQQR/Astack+of+books+on+a+boat%27s+deck+at+anchor Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON GRIEF AND LOSS - Books buoy us.

Rough In this short-and-sweet Kindle Single (perfectly bite-sized for the holidays and one of Amazon's “Best of 2015”), the author and her friend vacation in one of the unhappiest places on earth: Estonia. While searching for information about her great great grandmother, Bonnie Rough reflects on women's roles past and present. As Rough drives down rutted roads and wanders through arid fields, we begin to wonder who, exactly, is alone: the girls on their vacation? the great great grandmother? women as a whole? or the writer, trying to find meaning? A tale vividly told, pleasantly paced, and with just the right mix of observation, rumination, and humor, perfect for contemplating places and people lost to us when we can’t travel down those distant roads ourselves. (Plus, pinkies! You’ll laugh at the pinkies!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166618289-LF5L39ZC3L6MJ4CMX9EC/Beyond+Your+Bubble+by+Tania+Israel Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON GRIEF AND LOSS - Beyond Your Bubble: How to Connect Across the Political Divide, Skills and Strategies for Conversations That Work by Tania Israel Some of us are feeling distanced from loved ones this year, not due to physical barriers but political ones. In fact, that same childhood friend I mentioned in my intro also happens to sit opposite me politically. She and I shared emails recently, affirming our respect for each other despite this divide. Beyond Your Bubble helped me reach out to her. Psychologist Tania Israel gives readers, regardless of party, concrete strategies for communicating across the aisle. First, the author makes you question your motives: Do you honestly want to listen and learn? Or do you just want to try to convince someone else of your own point of view? Even if your goal is the latter, she says, the first step is (you guessed it) listening and learning. Beyond Your Bubble is short and to-the-point—which I viewed as a major plus during this busy time—and gave me insight into both myself and others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166707304-0QQ0QRMNUXDPZQW9HS4U/Sing+Them+Home+by+Stephanie+Kallos Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON GRIEF AND LOSS - Sing Them Home by Stephanie Kallos In Sing Them Home, three siblings reunite for their father's funeral amid the Welsh mourning traditions of their small Nebraska town. They also grieve the long-ago loss of their mother, Hope, who went up in a tornado and never came down. Kallos draws three fresh, nuanced characters, as well as the quirky folk of this down-and-out but culturally rich town. Add to that a chorus of the dead—this thread was one of my favorite touches—and you've got a whole world (or two) to lose yourself in. Plus, if you get it on audiobook (e.g. via libro.fm, which supports independent booksellers), the narration delivers strong, distinct voices that are a joy to listen to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166682407-ULH1LF1X4SGE3M9MRBBK/The+Hate+U+Give+by+Angie+Thomas Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON GRIEF AND LOSS - The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas The Hate U Give is a YA (young adult) novel my daughter recommended. It was excellent. A fast-paced read for both teens and adults. When Starr Carter’s childhood friend Khalil is shot in an all-too-routine traffic stop by a police officer, their community erupts in protest. But across town at her prep school, where Starr is one of few African-American students, Khalil is being called a drug dealer (which he was) and a thug (which is what exactly?)—as though either could justify his murder. Through her grief, Starr must decide what to do about the fact that Khalil wasn’t alone when he died; he had a star witness in the car with him. But what do you do when coming forward will turn your life upside down—and won’t bring back the life that’s already been lost? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608166640780-YD9GPD2701JYHBTBYQNU/Running+Home+by+Katie+Arnold Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON GRIEF AND LOSS - Running Home by Katie Arnold On the surface this is a memoir about the ultimate test of endurance: ultra-running. I have zero interest in ultra-running. Yet I was thrilled to spend a night watch last year, crossing from the South Pacific to Hawai’i, listening to Katie Arnold tell her gorgeously-written story via audiobook. When Arnold’s dad, a National Geographic photographer, dies of cancer, her grief is mountainous; she begins to worry (irrationally it turns out) that she will die imminently, too, abandoning her two daughters. To efface—or face—her mortality and grief, she begins running greater distances, all the while asking hard questions of herself and her deceased father. The miles she covers are difficult and gorgeous and worth every step. https://www.womenwhosail.com/blog/2020/12/15/christmas-disaster-in-puerto-rico monthly 0.5 2020-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608157788306-P0ZAEGBEG0F47W50THMF/Kali+and+Darwin+anticipating+bacon+fat+in+Irie%27s+galley Women Who Sail Blog - CHRISTMAS DISASTER IN PUERTO RICO - Darwin and Kali anticipating bacon fat in Irie’s galley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1608157622921-DSPVAL52GV9MN00X2IGF/Author+Liesbet+Collart+standing+in+a+grassy+field+and+smiling+at+the+camera+with+sailboats+in+the+distance.

Naomi Alderman’s The Power is a fascinating novel about leadership in revolutionary times. Imagine a time in the future when women have evolved with the power to electrocute others. So now they rule the world. Knowledge about the past (our time) has been lost, but one plucky male anthropologist suggests that men used to be soldiers (hilarious!) and women were caregivers (ha!). His ideas are so preposterous that he presents them as fiction, chronicling the tumultuous era when women got “the Power” and went on to (ab)use “the Power.” Spoiler: in Alderman’s imagination, the world is no better off with women (pun intended) in charge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603312081698-1VO1YAIG31P3C4P9GVQT/Janna+headshot+w+daughters.jpeg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON LEADERSHIP - janna cawrse esarey Janna is a sailor, author, and speaker focusing on helping people pursue B-HAGs: big, hairy, audacious goals.

By interweaving his personal story with Dr. Martin Luther King’s tenets of nonviolence, Kazu Haga shows the way. Haga’s own story is fascinating; he’s a riches-to-rags immigrant, a high school dropout, and a student of Buddhism who goes on to work with incarcerated people, teaching skills of peace, social change, and reconciliation. Haga criticizes call-out and cancel culture and encourages change-makers to bring compassion, humility, and strategy. A great read for citizen leaders! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1605569590900-8LTXO4BVO4SANWVIE1W5/Fourteen+by+Leslie+Johansen+Nack.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON LEADERSHIP - Fourteen by Leslie Johansen Nack Fourteen is the poignant and gripping coming-of-age story of a girl who sails to Tahiti with her predatory father in 1975. With him as captain of their 45’ boat, Nack’s life depends upon him ... until he falls ill. The skills and confidence Nack gains from sailing, combined with her indomitable will, help Nack fight back against her father’s abuse—and might even help her save his life. Written in candid, clear, even-handed prose, this is an important book, one that takes us on a lush journey to distant lands and through the complexities and resilience of the human spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1605569329152-T0FO4H0FT3WUBSDEQ7MA/Drop+the+Ball+by+Tiffany+Dufu.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON LEADERSHIP - Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu Mother of two, nonprofit executive, and launch team member for Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, Dufu was continually asked by audiences, “How do you manage it all?” Dufu’s answer was, “‘I expect far less of myself and way more of my husband.” This “memoir and manifesto” about managing family and work explains how Dufu renegotiated roles at home. Each chapter shares her compelling story, followed by stats, studies, interviews, and strategies. Dufu reminds us that no one has the time/energy/sanity to do “it all” perfectly, so good leaders prioritize. Dufu decides to do what matters most to her—then drops or delegates the rest. Of course, that’s easier said than done, but Dufu writes about her process with candor and clarity. I walked away inspired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1605569264421-63UFSZ6Q1W75CF0XJ0D4/How+to+be+an+Antiracist+by+Ibram+X+Kendi.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON LEADERSHIP - How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi If there’s one book you read this year, let this be the one. Because if there’s anything 2020 has shown us, it’s that centuries of racial inequities persist. Rather than deny, ignore, or wallow in guilt about injustice, now is the time to learn and lead. How to be an Antiracist is a great place to start. The book is controversial in that Kendi, a Black historian, implicates himself in racism. His methodology is fresh, vulnerable, and engrossing. He uses his personal story as a springboard to explore the history of racist ideas and how to combat them. The result is a moving and insightful blend of analysis and memoir—the end of the book brought me to tears. If you want to dig deeper into the actual history, Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning is also excellent, or his collaboration with YA author Jason Reynolds, Stamped, is a history book for young people whose first line is: “This is NOT a history book.” (It’s about the here and now!) Finally, if you want to start really early with combatting racism, check out Kendi’s Antiracist Baby, a board book that won’t leave you bored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1605569464583-MFTJWQQCVZR4R8OI81H7/Girl+with+the+Louding+Voice+by+Abi+Dare.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON LEADERSHIP - The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré All Adunni wants is to go to school, but at fourteen, she’s sent off to be the third wife of a man whose daughter is her same age. Adunni is devastated. But her mother always told her to use her “louding voice” to fight for an education. When, after much hardship, Adunni ends up as a maid in a fancy house, she seems no closer to her goal, but she keeps her eye on the prize. (Her adventures and friendships in Lagos were my favorite part of the book!) I think the most striking thing about Daré’s novel is that I had to keep reminding myself that this was modern day Nigeria. In that sense, Daré is using her own “louding voice” to remind us that we have a long way to go for women’s rights around the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1605569532235-VJYXZH5IM4HRBJOCUS2N/Every+Dress+a+Decision+by+Elizabeth+Austen.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON LEADERSHIP - Every Dress a Decision by Elizabeth Austen Poetry stretches the mind and, for book clubs, the conversation, and the bite-size format squeezes well into busy holidays. With Every Dress a Decision, Elizabeth Austen, former Washington State Poet Laureate, offers a beautiful and brave collection with a central current that whisks the reader right along. Austen writes about questions of love, desire, faith, identity, and strength—while grieving her brother's death and her pain about their past. It’s an intense read, sometimes wry, often moving, always thought-provoking; my book club had one of our liveliest conversations ever. But the reason I feature it here is because one of my favorite poems, “The Girl Who Goes Alone,” is about women in the wild. “To be a girl alone in the wilderness is to know / that if something goes wrong ... the mourning / will be mixed with I-told-you-sos.” And isn’t conquering this particular fear the first step in becoming a leader? (Give yourself a gift. Watch Austen read this wise, funny poem here.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1605569174444-4B9S5ZS1OA710YEVLT3C/Dare+to+Lead+by+Brene+Brown.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON LEADERSHIP - Dare to Lead by Brené Brown Brené Brown books read like you’re talking to a wise friend—who sometimes gets stuff stuck in her teeth. Smart, humble, approachable. For so long, we’ve been expected to bring only our “professional” selves to work. But we’re not automatons. Today’s Zoom meetings—with cats streaking and kids bickering (or vice versa) in the background—is proof. According to Brown, “Leaders must either invest a reasonable amount of time attending to fears and feelings”—imagine, talking fears and feelings at work!—“or squander an unreasonable amount of time trying to manage ineffective and unproductive behavior.” Brown contrasts armored leadership (perfectionism, scarcity, fear of failure) with daring leadership (curiosity, empathy, inclusivity). I even noticed some overlap in Brown’s analysis with Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun’s fascinating article about white supremacy culture. Interesting food for thought. https://www.womenwhosail.com/blog/2020/10/21/lessons-learned-from-a-decade-of-protecting-the-ocean monthly 0.5 2020-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603310798404-IMTC19I5GYGSJFOWQC3U/Image+of+Rachel+Zoe+Miller+in+glasses+at+the+beach+with+long+dark+curly+hair Women Who Sail Blog - LESSONS LEARNED FROM A DECADE OF PROTECTING THE OCEAN - rachael zoe miller Rachael is an expedition scientist, inventor, National Geographic Explorer and Explorers Club Fellow working to protect the ocean.

The Hungry Tide addresses climate effects upon the natural world, too, but in a digestible story form. I loved the female protagonist, Piya, a marine biologist studying a rare river dolphin in the Bay of Bengal. And, though less enamored with the male lead, I loved the novel's central question: What do we do when civil rights and environmental protection clash? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603312966456-S8DWCF0ODQF5RCHS330K/Image+of+the+book+cover+of+Necessary+Revolution+by+Peter+Senge+et+al.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - The Necessary Revolution: Working Together to Create a Sustainable World by Peter Senge et al The Necessary Revolution is a great environmental read for business-minded folks. Not only does Senge describe corporations starting to do business in more sustainable ways, he shows individuals within organizations how to get their teams making environmental progress. While the book is a decade old, it got me thinking in hopeful ways about the many paths toward sustainability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603313388609-WFJQPDHFF0F407MV3RCO/Image+of+the+book+cover+of+Tales+of+Two+Planets+edited+by+John+Freeman.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - Tales of Two Planets: Stories of Climate Change and Inequality in a Divided World Edited by John Freeman So much of what we hear about the climate crisis comes from Western perspectives, but this collection of essays, poetry, and fiction features thinkers and artists across the globe. We quickly realize that climate change has already devastated people’s lives and livelihoods, climates and cultures, and that those who have contributed the least to global warming are, ironically, the most affected by it. The entries vary in length, which makes it a great book to dip in and out of depending on your time and mood. One of my favorite short stories is about a woman who opens, again and again, a box that grants her dearest wish and simultaneously devastates someone else in her life. She knows the box will do this. Yet she keeps opening it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603312913331-HYQTOSX7XA827XUDVJB6/Image+of+the+book+cover+of+Story+of+More+by+Hope+Jahren.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go from Here by Hope Jahren If Thunberg’s calls for panic are not your speed, Jahren offers a more measured approach. She walks us through the many facets of modern life that landed us here—Western culture’s approach to food, water, energy, animals—and suggests multiple ways to change course, from small steps (eat less meat, fly less) to radical ones (don’t eat meat, don’t fly). More prescriptive than Jahren’s memoir, Lab Girl (which I loved), The Story of More presents devastating numbers in quirky ways that make them grok-able, inspiring sober hope and action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603313208515-F20MA0K7C94HD6N50Z6Z/Image+of+the+book+cover+of+Notes+from+an+Apocalypse+by+Mark+O%27Connell.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - Notes from an Apocalypse: A Personal Journey to the End of the World and Back by Mark O’Connell Irish author and father, O’Connell, worries about the ill effects global warming will have on his kids’ future, so he travels the world investigating people’s wildly different approaches to the apocalypse—from survival bunker salesmen to Mars colonists, from billionaires buying New Zealand havens to tourists in Chernobyl. The book ends on an oddly hopeful note—young children build resolve like nothing else—but the part that fascinated me most was O’Connell’s analysis of American “preppers” whose combination of toxic masculinity and white supremacy undergirds an ideology of self-reliance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603313885777-ZFOGG4G1BYLSK533WTJ3/A+stack+of+books+on+a+sailboat%27s+deck+with+text+that+reads+Buoyed+by+Books Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - We can do this—if for no other reason than we must. “It is always at the moments of greatest darkness that we actually need the brightest light.” -Christiana Figueres *A Note on Optimism: If thinking about the climate crisis brings you down, I feel you.

As a compendium of speeches, however, the book repeats itself. A lot. This can be annoying but it’s also the book’s greatest strength because hearing Our house is on fire! once makes you think, but hearing it over and over makes you act. If the repetition gets too much, though, skip to the last essay. Her sweetly humorous Montreal speech was one of my favorites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603313114816-5ZELE3SG47GFGGO5PPCC/Image+of+the+book+cover+of+Yellow+House+by+Sarah+Broom.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - The Yellow House by Sarah Broom You can’t talk about global warming without acknowledging the increasing intensity of tropical cyclones, Hurricane Katrina being the most iconic. Broom, a careful, graceful writer, examines the slow (by poverty), swift (by wind), creeping (by floodwaters), and irreparable (by unauthorized city bulldozer) destruction of her family home in New Orleans East. Painting a lavish family tree, Broom illustrates how African American communities are affected by climate change, pollution, and wholesale neglect in ways unimaginable to White suburbs. Incidentally, I once taught in the same neighborhood Broom describes; that middle school was destroyed by Katrina and never rebuilt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603313261971-BG72KYU3JAGNGX60Q2OF/Image+of+the+book+cover+of+Parable+of+the+Sower+by+Octavia+Butler.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler Butler’s dystopian Earthseed series imagines California in the 2020s and 30s, ravaged by global warming and economic crises, with a president who promises to “Make America great again”—at which point I had to doublecheck the publication dates: mid 1990s. After reading O’Connell (above), it was an odd and fascinating juxtaposition to encounter Butler’s protagonist Lauren Olamina, a Black teenager prepping to survive the breakdown of society by developing wilderness skills and creating a religious ideology of her own. Lauren is unusual in that she’s a “feeler,” experiencing people’s joy and pain alongside them. Hard to fight for survival when hurting someone else means hurting yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1603313446677-17SHSL5UD13YK2CABY7A/Image+of+the+book+cover+of+Motion+of+the+Ocean+by+Janna+Cawrse+Esarey.jpg Women Who Sail Blog - READINGS ON CLIMATE ACTIVISM - The Motion of the Ocean: 1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, & a Woman’s Search for the Meaning of Wife by Janna Cawrse Esarey Here’s what a reader named Brad, a non-sailor, wrote to me about MOTO: “What started as an interest in your adventure turned into a discussion about our lives, our goals, and our marriage.

Within 3 months, I had moved to Seattle newly married, and the proud mum of my 5-year-old stepson. Fast forward three homes, two dogs, three boats, a successful cafe, four businesses, too many jobs to count, three beautiful baby girls, and a decade-plus a smidge-later, we have headed south on an adventure. Time passes exploring islands on our new (to us) 45' floating home, learning the ukulele, improving our fishing skills, and of course, starting another family business. Our current home-port is blissful COVID quarantine life on the Pacific coast of Mexico while we work on Textnibble, our new family venture to help small-family owned restaurants survive the pandemic economy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc162d1755be2603c9d2920/1598986708219-QXGKQDWXPFBLSI6AWTZZ/Image%3A+Image+Description%3A++three+smiling+girls+stand+on+a+beach+on+Mexico%E2%80%99s+Pacific+coast+holding+one+long+barracuda+between+them.
