Publisher's Synopsis
Skip retires from the Navy and flies into Puerto Vallarta to meet his childhood friend. He is quickly whisked away from the airport onto the sailboat Shoot the Moon and an intense sailing regatta. Buster, also very new to sailing, shows him the ropes on the boat and the wonderful comradarie among the sailors at the dock.
Ariana and Socorra on vacation from Guadalajara hit the bar that night in the perfect storm.
The sails fly, the race boats smack down the waves of Banderas Bay as salt sheets of spray rainbow over the bow. The Oklahoma boys understanding of sailing grows and they flourish under the teaching and leadership of the fine folks they meet at the dock. Ariana loves the textiles, the pagentry, flags and the raw power of these magnificent sails.
The newly forged couples help out at the local airport and the girls fly for the first time.
The Mexican people have a heart of gold, yet the squalor and the endless hovels trouble Buster deeply.
The old sailors watch and nurtre these kids in their new life and share their stories, knowing one day they will pass the baton and no longer ply these waters.
A wild Gringa witch boards the boat, Magdalena, a pirate and a philanthropist. She is articulate, harsh and passionately drives her unconventional points home hard.
Come join the crew and decide where your loyalties lie on this glorious bay, the Bay of Flags.
