A Book Talk with author Larri Irene Spengler
Saturday, November 15th | 10:30 a.m – 12:00 p.m.
at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum

The City Museum will host a book talk with local author Larri Irene Spengler on Saturday, November 15th from 10:30 a.m. – noon. Her book Taking Time: Sailing with My Family in Southeast Alaska chronicles the many adventures Larri and her family experienced while sailing their 27-foot Cape Dory sailboat, Altariel. Over the course of 18 years, Larri, her husband and their daughter made regular wilderness forays from their home in Juneau. While sailing throughout Southeast Alaska they became attuned to weather, gained skills and resiliency, coped with emergencies, watched whales and sunsets, read aloud to each other, and had spacious time for both conversations and silence. In 2022, the family decided it was time to sell Altariel, and in 2025 Larri published Taking Time.

Larri looks forward to sharing what she learned from her sailing experiences. Her book Taking Time will be available for purchase at the City Museum during the book talk, and coffee and tea will be provided. This is a free event.

“Taking Time conveys one way to live in the present, and to nurture together-time in the face of brimming schedules and encroaching technology. It provides a life-affirming template, whether or not you own a sailboat!”
