About this book

Holman Day set this romance on the working waterfront of the New England coast, where seamanship counts for more than a family name. Captain Boyd Mayo commands a yacht for a wealthy owner and finds his loyalty tested when he falls for Alma Marston, the daughter of the man he serves. What follows mixes shipboard adventure, rivalry, and a slow reckoning with questions of pride and duty that Mayo cannot dodge forever. Day, a Maine newspaperman before he turned to fiction, wrote with a sailor's ear for coastal talk and the rhythms of harbor towns, and the book carries that regional flavor throughout. Readers who enjoy old-fashioned sea yarns with a romantic thread will find plenty here.
