Produktinformationen zu „West of Wisdom (ePub)“
Many years ago Blake Bernard married Ethyl,
the daughter of a missionary couple, on a South Pacific island. On
their honeymoon cruise they were captured by pirates and the pirate
captain attempted to ravish the bride. In the fight, Blake was shot and
the pirate's boat caught fire and sank. Ethyl and the pirate escaped,
but his treasure chest was lost. Ethyl was a grandmother when she
received a mysterious riddle, West of Wisdom, found in a floating
bottle. Astarte, her granddaughter, takes an
inter-island freighter to find the island where her grandmother was
married. When she recites the riddle to the ship's captain, who happens
to be the same now much older pirate, he decides she knows the
whereabouts of his long lost treasure. She is kidnaped bound and gagged
and stuffed in a sail bag. The story starts
when a man with a glass eye puts the sack on the deck of Timothy Tyler's
sailboat and threatens to take over. Tim refuses to let the man come
aboard and sails out into the boundless South Pacific Ocean. When the
bag falls into the sea, he looks back and sees a small white hand
reaching from the sinking sack. And then...

Autoren-Porträt von Edwin P. Cutler
Edwin Paul Cutler grew up with a dream to sail out of sight of landand steer by the stars. After a career as a mathematician, he went
sailing with his wife, Wendy, on Romarin, a wooden boat built in
1938. They spent 10 years sailing in the Caribbean Islands and several
years in Bermuda teaching college math and computers.
They made ocean passages navigating with a sextant. When their
wooden mast broke, they scarfed in a splice and sailed away. They rode
out hurricanes in the Caribbean Islands and repaired broken thru-hull
fittings at sea.
They traveled to French Polynesia to study the islands in the story.
On the Aranui, similar to the Wanderlust, they traveled to all of the
Marquesas, several of the Tuamotus, and on to Tahiti. They flew over
Huahine and Raiatea, spent a week on Bora Bora, and took the ferry from
Tahiti to Moorea to stay in a grass hut.
The islands of the South Pacific were studied in Seven Seas Cruising
Association newsletters, Alan Villiers, "Captain John Cook", 1967, Sven
Wahlroos, "Mutiny and Romance in the South Seas", and Commander Victor
Clark, "On the Wind of a Dream", 1960 and in various chart books.
Edwin has published numerous poems and several short stories in
nautical publications, including sailing adventures and experiences in
Cruising World. Some are available on "epic99.tripod.com". For NASA he
published scientific papers on pulsars and artificial intelligence.
Another adventure-mystery-romance novel, Caribbean Kiss, is ready
for publication.
