About This Book

The story follows Jimmy Wheelock as he struggles to save his father’s vessel and the associated sawmill contract from a hard‑nosed creditor who insists on costly repairs and threatens foreclosure. Forced temporarily ashore, Jimmy later takes command of a schooner and becomes embroiled in legal pressure, dangerous weather, disabled engines and a shipping venture that tests his seamanship. Interpersonal tensions involving Merril, Eleanor, Anthea and Jordan drive schemes, discoveries and moments of compulsion, and the plot resolves through a blend of daring at sea, practical resourcefulness and shifting loyalties that lead to financial settlement and emotional reconciliation.
