Wind in My Wings by Fran Taylor

Running Away to Sea in the 20th Century...

In her book, Fran Taylor relates not only the day to day events in the seagoing life of a diminutive but lion-hearted woman who will not say "No" to the challenges in her life but also the deeper thoughts and feelings that occur to her as she joins other men and women in the precarious business of crewing a square-rigger across half the world.  

In particular, her book deals with the dramatic voyage of the Australian replica of HM Bark Endeavour from England to Australia in 2004-2005.
