Bull Canyon

A Boatbuilder, a Writer and Other Wildlife

De: Lin Pardey

Narrado por: Michelle Murillo

In the tradition of A Year in Provence, Lin Pardey - renowned for her sailing narratives - takes you on a voyage of the heart, sharing her and her husband Larry's remarkable tale of homesteading with equal parts candor and humor.

Internationally known for their sailing adventures, in 1980 - fresh from an 11-year journey where they forged the early years of their marriage on high seas and in exotic locales - Lin and Larry Pardey came to California looking for a good spot to build a boat, test Lin's skills as a writer, and taste the apparent security life ashore could offer.

Nestled in a rocky outcropping of sparsely populated dirt roads 60 miles from the sea and 50 miles from Los Angeles, Bull Canyon would seem an unlikely place for boat-building. Yet when Lin and Larry set eyes on the abandoned stone cottage at the top of a rutted dusty lane, it was love at first sight. The house was certainly a fixer-upper, but there was plenty of room to build the boat which would become their soon-to-be-famed Lyle Hess designed cutter Taleisin.

This remarkable book tells the tale charmingly and engagingly - as only Lin Pardey can.

Great story!

I really enjoyed this story and the authors writing style. I recommend this book highly.

Genuine storytelling. Great story.

I loved this story! Wish there were more audio books from this author. Hard to believe no phones during most of the build.

My favorite Pardey book.

Great narration and captivating story. I listened to the entire thing in a couple days. There is very little sailing in this book but every bit as much adventure. Thank you Lin.

What a wonderful glimpse into thier lives.

I had finished Taleisin's Tale, and interested in how she was built, so I bought Bull Canyon. But this book was much more, it showed me the lives and relationship that both Lin and Larry had. I highly recommend this book. Lin is an awesome writer, and I would have bought and I'm sure enjoyed her novel, had she written it.

❤❤❤
