- Summary:
- "Gene is a successful New Yorker with two passions in his life. One is sailing, from the abandoned islands that dot Long Island Sound to the fathomless depths of the Caribbean. His other passion is Kevin--the young man who was his friend, sailing buddy, and lover. Deep Water: A Sailor's Passage is the compelling memoir of a modern-day gay sailor and his adventure with Kevin and other friends. It delivers a true sense of the realities--both hard and sublime--of life under sail, whether navigating through Hell Gate in the East River of through dense fog in Cape Cod. More important, this book illustrated the bond between two men who sail together, love together, and care for each other through the best and worst of times"--Page [4] of cover.
