Diana Talley, The Center of Buoyancy

(Airdate: February 11, 2025) Visiting Cris on Booklovers’ Cafe this time is Port Townsend’s own shipwright sailor guurl, Diana Talley! We talk about her no-holds-barred memoir, The Center of Buoyancy. This memoir speaks to us about the early years of the Boat Haven and how a young girl learned the wooden boat building trade, sailed fearlessly around the Pacific, and built her own business against the odds. There are people you know or wish you had met in these pages. The stories are tender and humorous, tough and true.
