Along the way are hurricanes in the Atlantic, typhoons and
earthquakes in the Pacific and the Orient, wild times on Navy ships
and on Navy liberty ashore, as well as rescues at sea--including
the famous sinking of the Mary E in the 1976 Miami-Nassau race.
There are also evocative stories of idyllic cruises and places,
like Nantucket, Scandinavia, Greece, and the coasts of the United
States. Robinson's stories are peopled with a warm, amusing, and
frequently dramatic cast of characters, including yachts
themselves--ranging from sailing skiffs to large ocean-racing
machines, and most things in between--old and new, large and small,
in storm and calm. His has been a rich sailing life and his stories
tell of it with fascination and inescapable entertainment.
