A tale for any waitematawoody considering marriage & also those that are now boat-less.
I found this tale, ‘Something to remember -by James S Pitkin’, a few years ago in the wonderful old 1947 book ‘The Book of Boats’ by William Aitkin. Aitkin saw the book as becoming a quarterly journal but only two issues were printed then publication ceased. You can find / buy copies on ebay & its a collection of short stories & a great read.
I had a copy & one day hopefully the CYA member I lent it to, whose name eludes me, will open the dust cover & see my stamp & return it 🙂
Harold Kidd Update:
A visit to the maritime provinces of Canada and the New England seaboard reveals the similarities between the Canucks, the Down Easters (and other Yankees) and Kiwis; each of these sets of populations originally arrived by sea, mainly in sailing craft; and each traded and gathered their food and went from place to place on the sea. No wonder there is a great fellow feeling between these peoples. There is the same feeling in Brittany and Cornwall too. The sea is at the core of our being.
