"In the Track of the Trades" by Lewis R. Freeman is a nautical travel account written in the early 20th century. The narrative recounts an adventurous 14,000-mile yachting cruise that takes place across the South Pacific, including stops at the Hawaii Islands, Marquesas, Societies, Samoas, and Fijis. The book presents a captivating exploration of the seascapes, cultures, and experiences encountered during the voyage, shedding light on the beauty and challenges of sailing in these regions. The opening of the account begins with the final preparations for the journey aboard the yacht "Lurline", capturing the excitement and trepidation as friends and crew bid farewell. The weather is unsettled, with storm clouds looming ominously above as the boat departs from San Pedro, California. Detailed descriptions of the tumultuous seas and the crew’s navigation challenges are highlighted, particularly the Commodore's adjustment to the responsibilities of sailing the yacht. As the crew copes with the rough conditions during the first leg of their journey, tension and camaraderie are palpable, hinting at the adventures yet to come. The narrative sets a tone of resilience and discovery, with a promise of rich experiences ahead in the world of sailing and exploration.
