The Johannssen family has always had sailing in their blood; Puget Sound has always been their playground. But something happened to split their family apart, and now Josh is the only one of three siblings left in Seattle -- and even he has managed to avoid the family sailing legacy. In a last-ditch effort to bring his splintered family back together, he refurbishes a classic sailboat built by his father and enters the biggest race in the area. With beautifully described details of sailing and Puget Sound itself, as well as fully realised characters, this tale of a dysfunctional family is "as bracing as salt spray during an autumn sail" (Publishers Weekly).
