Re: The Coast of Summer

 

Yeah, I remember Hurricane Bob. My gf at the time and I were on our way to the Cape, stopped in on a whim to see Jimmy Buffett at Greatwoods in Mass. He had brought his sailboat up to the Cape, and was complaining in jest that the Hurricane was following him around. Being young and invincible, we continued on to Truro undeterred.? It wasn't that bad there, the power went out and it went around us. But hey, I had the beach house to myself and I wasn't passing it up, storm or no storm
Thanks Caleb, was thinking of you a while back crossing the Hudson across the Tappan Zee. Yes I know it has a new name. Hope to meet you sometime, appreciate your work to keep it going. Sometimes it's about the boat, sometimes it's the connections made.

Robert,

It may or may not have been me who recommended this book but I did read it many years ago when we first got our T27.? It was quite inspiring to read and really made me want to be able to cruise the LI Sound and environs as he did.? I remember Hurricane Bob (which comes up later in the book) and what it did to the extreme eastern end of LI.?
A great read for any sailor but especially any Tartan 27 owner.

My best,
Caleb D

Just ordered The Coast of Summer by Anthony Bailey, 4 bucks and change from Abe Books, shipping included. Read the first 70 odd pages on a preview. Thanks to whomever mentioned the boat and book here, otherwise I may not have run into it. I grew up spending summers on Cape Cod,? and as a lifeguard on Ballston Beach in Truro would see Joel Meyerowitz carrying his huge camera around. I believe it was a Hasselblad. At the time everyone I knew there had a copy of his Cape Light book on their coffee table. So aside from the story of the adventure I knew I had to have the book whose cover photo he did. So far it's a nice story and I'm looking forward to the rest of it. The dream of sailing again keeps me going through fiberglass and epoxy work.
Regards, Rob.
