In Call of the North Wind, the author retraces voyages of lost ships, early explorers and heroic sea captains in a rich narrative of adventure and history of Lake Superior. As he sails along the Shipwreck Coast in a 35-foot catamaran, Marlin Bree goes on the track of the Edmund Fitzgerald and reconstructs the last hours of the giant boat—and meets up with some of the infamous storms that took it down with the loss of all hands. He delves into the legends and folklore of the first explorers of the Big Lake and the incredible Warriors of the Storm (They had to go out—they didn't have to come back.) A fascinating voyage that will fascinate and sometimes surprise you.
