A rollicking collection of 19 short stories, essays, and accounts of life and humor on and off the sea in coastal New England, written over the course of 20 years of boating in power and sail. From Block Island to Rhode Island to Cape Cod to the Caribbean, this is a book of reflections, funny stories, and more (even a recipe for fish cakes), a sometimes irreverent and sometimes serious look at life's experiences near the water. It's not a sailing travelogue or cruising guide, however, and one need not be a sailor to understand or appreciate these stories.
