Abstract:
In Montana, Ben and Cynthia Downey live a very different life than the one that their father experienced growing up in Southern Maryland, where life’s lessons are fashioned by the disciplines of reality. After their father passes away, they travel to “River Springs,” the home of their Grandfather where they spend the summer of a lifetime meeting up with pirates, rogues and rascals.

But, their adventures are only part of the story. Timeless recipes, boatbuilding plans, nautical terms and a sample skipper’s test are all part of “To Touch the Wind” – a must have for every boating family.
