For my birthday I recieved a great book, "The Coast of Summer" by Anthony Bailey. Author and his wife cruise along the NE coast each summer in a Tartan 27. It was written several years ago, talks about being caught in Hurricane Bob. I believe his homeport was Noank or Mystic. Any of you NE sailors familiar with the book or author?
I would recommend the book to anyone interested in sailing. Only problem, don't lend it out. Mine is in the process of going from a friend to a friend to a friend. Last I heard, it was in the Lake George, NY area.

Here's another book to put in your lockers. "My Old Man and the Sea" by David Hays & Daniel Hays. This is the true story of a father and son, also from CT, who sail around Cape Horn, by way of the Galapagos and Easter Island, in a 25' sail boat.
