"Despite the long sail in three vessels down three different bodies of water, and now the hard ride over the Lenape trail, he took delight in the journey. Breathing the air of a world so new, almost alarming in rawness and temptation, never failed to invigorate him."
Both of these sentences seem to be examples of periodic style. The first sentence also contains an element of hypotaxis, since the character mentions his hard ride over the Lenape trail after his travel by sea. It's difficult to know the point of either sentence until the end of each respective sentence.
