It became two books, one about winter, the other about summer, both set on the shores of the Great Lakes. Titles still to be determined. Have laughed many times about your response when I told you the projected title was “A Watcher on the Shore.” You, a sailor who is never quite at ease on shore, said, “That’s the saddest thing I ever heard.”

We took it to heart! Dropped the title but kept the book. Look for the winter volume to appear next year. The summer volume should follow in a year or two, and will include a chapter about our adventure sailing and exploring in the North Channel.

Certainly I get a hint of superiority from the writers, outsiders looking in, the sense of “That can’t be me.” Observation of the masses, the writer excluded from same. But the writer’s role of course is portraying and interpreting reality. No one wants to be part of the masses, the commoners. By reading such literature, we are taken from the throngs even though the writer saw us in the horde.

And speaking of watchers, whatever happened to “Watcher from the Shore” or its derivative?
