PAX is latin for peace. When an email came to my woodenboat.org address, offering the boat for sale, my life changed. In a microsoft beep, a blink and a breath, I went from fiberglass circumnavigator to wooden boat owner. Little did I know, or expect, that the name of the boat would so complexly and sometimes so ironically, match my emotion, my spirituality, my intellectual understanding of the word and my work. Finding Pax is the journey of a boat from Denmark to Sausalito, from British Columbia to Port Townsend. Every plank and fastener, every rib and sail connects to someone and the effects are deep, sometimes painful and as rich as life can be. This is a work in progress, with test versions onboard PAX at the 2008 Wooden Boat Festival.
