Synopsis

WHEN CHAMPION SAILOR CHARLOTTE (CHICK) CHASE finds a job as a yacht delivery captain, she looks forward to making use of her champion sailing skills. While delivering a 55' racing yacht from Florida to Massachusetts, she encounters a small, unmarked boat loaded with armed men heading from Cuba to the U.S. When her vessel is fired upon, she radios the U.S. Coast Guard to report the incident. Thus begins a series of adventures that involve salty exploits up and down the Atlantic Coast. Charlotte becomes inexorably entwined with the new Coast Guard that now functions under the Department of Homeland Security. She eventually teams up with a handsome, intelligent young officer who helps her deal with the challenges she faces on the high seas. Every page invites the reader to share in an exciting, plausible, swashbuckling series of events that involve elements of mature romance, sailboat racing, national security, and good old-fashioned patriotism. Intertwined are observations about sea life and human life made by a knowledgeable, experienced writing salt. Truman Cottrell is a Canadian citizen, born in the U.S. He moved to Nova Scotia to pursue his interest in sailing and writing.
