from Book Bonanza at-the-Cove

A nostalgic memoir of the lives and times of coastal pioneers-the old timers and their boats, that were essential in the days when the ocean was the only highway.

In 1930, June's parents, George and Marjorie Griffin bought the Loumar, a 36-foot, wooden boat that would become their family's summer home for the next two decades. Now, in her memoir of pioneer coastal life, supported by a charming collection of photographs, the author relives the magic of those summer days on the Loumar.
