ABOUT NICK FINNERAN:
Seventy-four-year-old Nick Finneran is a champion sailor, fly fisherman, world adventurer and confidant to three presidents. Nick spent his childhood sailing on Cape Cod. He was the quintessential teenage sailing bum, years before it became fashionable. After high school, he left the cold Massachusetts winters behind, and began a life journey of adventure that has spanned six decades.
In STANIEL CAY (pronounced key), Nick Finneran and his trusty cousin Tony leave the cold Massachusetts winters behind (in 1948-1949), and go looking for warmer climes in Miami. They discover a wrecked sailboat in the mangroves, which they rebuild and sail to the Bahamas. All along the way, the boys, on the edge of manhood, go fishing, sailing, beer-drinking and happen to uncover a mystery that leads them on a life and death chase through the Exuma Island chain.
According to an early review, ﾓThroughout my adult life, I have been looking for a grown-up’s version of the Hardy Boys. Nick Finneran has done it with STANIEL CAY. STANIEL CAY is pure nerd fiction, although Finneran swears that the events in STANIEL CAY are true.ﾒ STANIEL CAY was released in the United States in January 2004, and subsequently in the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France and Japan.
