Description: This book is a memoir of Simon, of an adolescent year in the Arcadian San Juan Archipelago of Puget Sound, a northwestern version of the Greek Aegean. Simon, a pubescent Odysseus, matured in this islanded environment of boats, fishermen, sailors and yachtsmen, all drawn to his fathers boatyard by their common love of the sea. Soon into the story Simon begins to appreciate the attributes of Zoe, a blond nymphet of Swedish extraction. Together they learn something of sailing and something of life. Yes, even in the primordial 1930s some teenagers were tempted by Eves apple, and yes, Zoe and Simon savored a bit of that pome. The carnal appetite of Simons father brought their fledgling love to a catastrophic denouement. The relationship deteriorated into a circumstance that resulted in Simon being exiled as a ships boy aboard a lumber schooner engaged in the China trade.
