Excerpt from In Tidal WatersIt is shared equally by boys who dwell far from the sea and those who live on the coast. My small son, for instance, when barely four was deeply offended because I declined to buy him one of the Belle Steamers which was embarking pas sengers at Southwold Pier, and only the other day when I asked him what he would best like to have in all the world the answer, A boat, came pat. And yet the child has been a¿oat but once in his life, and then only for a few minutes in a dinghy when a baby of a few months old. If this taste is not inherited I am at a loss to know from where he gets it. Anyhow, it pleases me to think that his love of boats has been inherited from his father, for I have been passionately attached to yachts and sailing craft of all descriptions as long as I can remember.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
