PINCHOT, GIFFORD B. Loki & Loon. A lifetime affair with the sea.
New York Dodd, Mead & Co, 1985 0396086780 / 9780396086789 Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
207 pages, 8 plates in color, text illustrations, map endpapers, cloth, dj, very good. From the publisher: More than the memoir of one of America's finest sailors, Loki and Loon is the delightful chronicle of some of the best years of yachting along the New England coast and beyond - years between J-boats and Loran, when harbors always held friends and boats were built with special care. From Chesapeake to Maine, Nova Scotia, and Europe, form the Caribbean to Tahiti, sailors of all descriptions will rediscover the joys of independence and exploration in this thoughtful, amusing narrative. Newcomers to sailing will gain encouragement and advice from a consummate mariner who believes strongly in skill, simplicity, and self-reliance - important aspects of the sport that are in danger of being drowned in a sea of complex technology and shortcuts. Those who thrive on wind, current, fog, coral reefs, seals, and whales will find a true ally in the author, whose observations as a scientist lend a dimension to this book not often found in cruising stories. Finally, those who might be curious about how well a man and a woman can work as a team afloat will find in Loki and Loon a story of the heart as cheerful and refreshing as they are likely to discover.
