I created this blog in 2009 in order to have a place to write regularly once my work at Soundings was over. Since February, I've been devoting my efforts to the book Rescue of the Bounty. That work is almost complete. At the end of next week, I'll send back the copy-edited pages and will have no more to do. Publication by Scribner is scheduled for April.
Writing that book with Michael Tougias has been consuming and has affected the rest of life. But we've had some other advetures tucked into the nooks of the weeks and months. I'll take time now to remember some of those events, like the passag through Eggamoggin Reach in Maine in late August, when we saw New York 30 #1, Alera, above, ghosting off Brooklin, Maine.
