Story Behind The Book

In the late summer afternoons, I would ride over to the marina where the big boats were docked. The gangways were always locked. I stood behind the gate staring at the yachts, imagining what it would be like to stand at the wheel, to back out of the slip, head up the channel, turn south, and keep going. Even then I didn’t want to be the boy behind the gate. I wanted to be the one at the helm calling, “Cast off the bow, we’re headed to sea.” Thirty years later it dawned on me: we were docked right where I used to stand behind the locked gates looking at the big boats. Only there was one difference—the boy behind the gate—was now standing at the helm.
