s a boy growing up in southern Indiana, magazines (including , of course!) and books were pretty much it in terms of the “sailing” I did in between summer trips to my grandparents’ place in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Among my favorites were C. S. Forester’s “Hornblower” series, Rudyard Kipling’s , Jack London’s and, my personal favorite, Eric Newby’s . This as a kid in Boston and thinking, “We’ll never see its like again.”
