About Jonathan White
Jonathan has nurtured a lifelong love for the sea by building and sailing many boats, logging more than a hundred thousand miles on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and surfing all over the world. He has served on numerous conservation boards and committees, founded the Resource Institute, a non-profit educational organization that offers a seminar program aboard the schooner Crusader in the Pacific Northwest. His first book, Talking on Water, grew out of these experiences.
While on a seminar in southeast Alaska, Crusader ran aground on a spring tide. After nearly losing the boat, Jonathan vowed to learn more about this mysterious and implacable force. Ten years of research took him to five continents where he saw the largest, fastest, scariest and most amazing tides in the world. Tides: the Science and Spirit of the Ocean was published in 2017.
