I grew up on Long Island Sound. Back then, i was one of the kids in the school who had a beat up old Thistle, and could eek 12-15 knot out of in on a great day surfing down waves. real chick magnet.


Take a look where things have gone since then.




Fifty knots is over 57 MPH.

Location: Lowry the tailor lived there when boys were boys. In his day he was fond of the gun. He always carried his powder loose in the tail pocket of his coat. He usually had in his mouth a short dudeen; but in an evil moment he put the dudeen, lighted, in the pocket among the powder. Mr. Lowry was an eccentric man.
