BOATING. "This is an account of a season sailing the waters between eastern Long Island and the tip of Cap Cod, poking into deep harbors and shallow ponds, anchoring off fashionable resorts and in remote coves, encountering the rough and the smooth, and exploring the present life of the coast while keeping a perceptive eye on the past. For the armchair sailor, this book will be as gratifying as a full-sail breeze. To practical yachting enthusiasts, it offers modestly but enticingly the fruits of much hard-won and not always heroic expeience. And for readers simply curious about the bays and the sounds, the Cape and the islands (including Shelter, Gardiners, Fishers, Block, Prudence, the Elizabeths, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket) , THE COAST OF SUMMER provides dramatic dips into history and personal incursions into contemporary high-season life.
