  Hard on the Wind: The True Story of a Boy Who Went to Sea and Came Back a Man
Hard on the Wind: The True Story of a Boy Who Went to Sea and Came Back a Man 
As the San Francisco waterfront struggled in the grip of the Great Depression, fifteen-year-old Hofvendahl talked his way aboard an old-fashioned four-masted schooner and sailed out beyond the Golden Gate Bridge to catch cod in the Bering Sea. His seafaring adventure relates the difficult lessons he learned while navigating through blind fog, dodging fights in the fo'c's'le, handlining for cod, mourning a lost shipmate, and more. Includes many period photos of the ship and crew.
