THOSE WHO HAVE read my previous book, Blue Water, Green Skipper, will recognize most of the locales in this book as being from my personal past. They may even recognize a character or two. I should say, however, that Mark and Annie Pemberton-Robinson resemble my late friends, Mike and Lizzie McMullen, only in their love of sailing, in Mike’s Royal Marine service, and in the manner of their deaths. Will Lee resembles me even less. This book is fiction.
