Healing Waters

A group of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans are visiting Martha’s Vineyard next week to fish the derby, a trip made possible by the Beach Plum Inn, Project Healing Waters, Menemsha charter captains, the tournament committee and a bunch of other volunteers.

A story in today’s Martha’s Vineyard Times explains the genesis of the idea: It involved The Big One and a thoughtful eight-year-old boy.

9/18 Update: A Vineyard Gazette piece on the event.

T Minus Nine Days Until the Derby

The derby is a little more than a week off, and I’m looking forward to heading back to the island for a few days and taking it seriously.

Wish me luck. I’ll need it.

Meanwhile, Cape Cod Life ran this story about The Big One in its latest edition.

Also, since raves from reviewers never get old, here’s one more.

By the way, President Obama spent his week on Martha’s Vineyard biking, swimming, shopping and golfing … leaving no time for fishing with his friend Charles Ogletree and one of my book’s larger-than-life characters, charter captain Buddy Vanderhoop. Maybe next year.
