ABOUT NICK FINNERAN:
Seventy-seven-year-old Nick Finneran is a Navy veteran, champion sailor, fly fisherman, world adventurer and confidant to three presidents.

In his wildly popular STANIEL CAY (pronounced key), published in 2004, Nick Finneran tells fellow sailors how he and his trusty cousin Tony left the cold Massachusetts winters behind (in 1948-1949), and went looking for warmer climes in Miami. They discovered a wrecked sailboat in the mangroves, which they rebuilt and sailed to the Bahamas. All along the way, the boys, on the edge of manhood, went fishing, sailing, beer-drinking and happened to uncover a mystery that led them on a life and death chase through the Exuma Island chain. CAY SAL BANK, published in May 2005 is the sequel to STANIEL CAY. Ten years before the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Russians were supporting the Cuban Communists, and the Finneran boys were drawn into the fray.

According to one reviewer, “Finneran serves up a bouillabaisse of sailing and adventure. Sailboats, bars, beaches, conch salads, the Italian Pirates of the Caribbean, the pioneer days of SCUBA, Cuban gun-runners, and drunken vervet monkeys. Ever wondered what the Caribbean was like before the tourists came? Read Nick Finneran!”
