"Let me tell you a whale of a tale of two old codgers who liked to sail; one was named Jay, the other one Al. Between them they had 150 years of living and over 100 years of sailing."So begins the tale of the Green Dragon, a true American blue-blooded gaff-rigged schooner on a peregrinate thousand-mile trip from Spruce Head, Maine, to Fells Point, Maryland and the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race. This is no typical summer cruise logbook.Armchair sailors will enjoy the sights and sounds of sailing and insights into local anchorages and good bread and pizza and lobster. The seasoned sailor will relish the local knowledge of unlit markers and blinding shorelights skillfully woven into a context of maritime history abounding with nautical terms and practical techniques for living with and loving old wooden boats.
