Author Nick Finneran tells the story of his sailing adventures in Miami and the Caribbean in 1948-1949
Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 17, 2004 --1stBooks, the leading provider of print-on-demand and eBook publishing services today published Nick Finnerans long-awaited STANIEL CAY.
In STANIEL CAY (pronounced key), Finneran tells the story of how, as a teenager in post-World War II 1948, he and his cousin Tony leave the cold Massachusetts winters behind to begin a life's journey. Along the way Nick and Tony do a lot of fishing, meet colorful characters from the pre-tourist days of Miami, and discover a wrecked sailboat in the mangroves, which they rebuild and sail to the Bahamas. The teenagers experience the tranquil life in the Caribbean before the tourist boom, but uncover a plot that may have been the opening salvo of the Cold War.
According to an early review, If you are thinking about chartering a sailboat in the Caribbean this winter? Read this book first! Thinking about taking a cruise or visiting Nassau? Definitely read this book first! Wish you had gone on a great sailing adventure when you were nineteen years old? Then, you gotta read STANIEL CAY!"
STANIEL CAY includes sketch charts that have been reproduced from the 1965 edition of the Yachtsmans Guide to the Bahamas.
