First Published in 2005. The authors of this book have tried to portray, in outline, the background of trade against which the Navy of Nelson's time had to operate. The Tarde Winds is the title they have chosen and the book should serve to remind us of many physical facts which then dominated the strategy both of trade and war—the Trade Winds themselves being not the least of them.

On February 19, 1967, all but four of the 240 registered voters in the Coconut Creek residential development gathered at a local church to vote on a single issue: whether or not to incorporate the neighborhood as a new city. By a greater than two-to-one majority, those in favor of incorporation won out, and Coconut Creek became Broward County's 32nd municipality. It may not have been obvious at that moment, but the creation of Coconut Creek ended a dozen years of city-building throughout the county. It also underscored the end of agriculture as an economic mainstay of the region. The new city had a distinctly small-town feel, with most municipal functions handled by volunteers. Before long, a population explosion brought new residential and commercial developments, forcing city leaders to confront issues of managing growth, protecting the environment, and maintaining the quality of life for city residents. The success of these efforts is seen in today's Coconut Creek.

Join author Jeannine Talley, as she and her sailing partner, Joy Smith, embark on the journey of a lifetime. Each day is a new adventure aboard the Banshee. Talley and her partner are stranded on a reef in Vanuatu, contract malaria, rescue a wrecked boat, visit a skull site in the Solomon Islands, and journey to remote islands whose inhabitants still bear the scars of a brutal colonial past. When their electronic navigational equipment is lost in a storm, they must use sextant navigation, depending entirely on sun sights, to make a long passage north from the South Pacifi c to Micronesia. In Lure of the Trade Winds, the two women travel to some of the most remote areas of the world and interact with the inhabitants within their social settings. They unravel some of the world's mysteries, plunge into the unknown, and come face to face with some of the darker aspects of legacy of colonialism. The tale of their travels proves once again that the spirit of adventure knows no bounds.
