May 7, 2012. Noah Kornblum, Polly, Yankee #219, sent in a copy of his dad's book At Sea in the City, a book about sailing around New York City in an ancient (1910!), 24' Crosby built, New England catboat - and a most interesting sailing area. We haven't finished it yet - this is due to having four books in progress at the same time, and an annoying habit of waking up in bed with one of these books on my chest.... Nevertheless, it deserves a place on our recommended reading list - so far, its a fascinating read. Noah has sailed with his Dad on Tradition, and his dad sails with Noah on Polly.
