    Great Read!

    I loved the sailing detail and the images this guy provides, you are right there on the boat with them. The story was fast moving and plausible! Who is this guy? is he real? Finneran is a Tom Clancy for the sailing set.

    Staniel Cay is my own best love

    I am not sure how I stumbled onto Nick Finneran's novel Staniel Cay while on line, but as soon as I saw the title I ordered the book and on receipt simply devoured it in a single sitting. As a 64 year old from Massachussetts who has cruised the Exumas in my own vessel on three wonderous ocassions and spent considerable time at the Staniel Cay Yacht club and moored off thunderball cave in the Time For Joy, I relate to all of the events in Nick and Tony's adventure and to the mistique of the area. I will certainly reread the book over the years and purchase copies as gifts for friends. As I gaze up at the map of the Bahamas and the large colorful poster of Staniel Cay on the wall of my office - I wish I was seated at the bar at the Yacht Club next to Nick Finneran discussing mutual interests. Great book! Ed McCabe, Smithfield, RI - former skipper of the 48' Seamaster Time For Joy.

    Pure Escapism

    Looking for a great read to help savor those lazy days of summer? Well search no more! Nick Finneran provides a lively tale based upon his recollection of events of his youth. Readers cannot help to recall the optimism and carefree times of their own youth's as they join Nick and Tony on their adventure. While there are times in the book you wish you could prod the author with a disbelieving 'your-pulling-my-leg' stare, it only serves as testimony that you are enjoying a great storyteller who can capture your imagination. Nick's storytelling is a credit to his craft, and I look forward to reading more about his adventures in the (hopefully) not so distant future. Ole!

    Staniel Cay

    DORCHESTER'S OWN NICK FINNERAN TELLS THE TALE OF HIS ADVENTURES IN THE CARIBBEAN IN 1948-1949 ***** ¿Thank the lord that ole Nicky finally wrote this story down!¿ says a former mayor of Boston. When you finish STANIEL CAY, you will surely have chuckled a few times along the way. It reads like an old Hardy Boys book, with a little bit of Horatio Hornblower, Mark Twain, and Hunter Thompson thrown in there as well. It is partly a cruising book, and partly an adventure novel. I¿m sure that Finneran stretches the truth in many places throughout this book. Yet, he writes with simplicity and elegance. He makes the reader truly see the sights he saw as a teenager exploring the Caribbean for the first time. Read STANIEL CAY slowly, and imagine your grandfather telling you this tale. Finneran will challenge you to imagine the colors of the Great Bahama Bank, the sweltry music of a far-off Cuban radio station, and the thunder of the gunboat that pursued the boys across the shallows. Most importantly, Finneran will make you experience the joys and terrors that he and his trusty cousin Tony felt during their cruising adventures in the Caribbean. Thinking about chartering a sailboat in the Caribbean this winter? Read this book first! Thinking about taking a cruise or visiting Nassau? Definitely read this book first! Wish you had gone on a great sailing adventure when you were nineteen years old? Then, you gotta read STANIEL CAY!

    Staniel Cay

    Last week, I attended the annual Strictly Sail event, which was held at Chicago¿s Navy Pier to report on the event for a local newspaper. Quite by accident, I attended a book signing event by author Nick Finneran, where I received a copy of STANIEL CAY. Nick Finneran is a hoot, a real life Walter Middy (a modern day Ernest Hemingway?). Massachusetts-born Finneran has been a champion sailor, a Navy Captain and war hero, successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, fly fishing instructor and confidant to three presidents (or so he says). Throughout my adult life, I have been looking for a grown-up¿s version of the Hardy Boys. Nick Finneran has done it with STANIEL CAY. STANIEL CAY is pure nerd fiction, although Finneran swears that the events in STANIEL CAY are true. The book is fast-paced, enjoyable and funny. Even if you are not a sailor or fisherman, you will appreciate Finneran¿s description of his days growing up on Cape Cod, his escape to Miami in 1948, and his adventures in the Bahamas. Finneran takes the reader back to the pre-tourist days in Miami and the Caribbean. Nick and his trusty cousin Tony Finneran (also born in Dorchester) leave the cold Massachusetts winters behind, and go looking for warmer climes in Miami. They discover a wrecked sailboat in the mangroves, which they rebuild and sail to the Bahamas. All along the way, the boys, on the edge of manhood, go fishing, sailing, beer-drinking and happen to uncover a mystery that leads them on a life and death chase through the Exuma Island chain. He has interspersed some great passages throughout the book that make certain moments come alive for the reader. There were many times during the book that I just sat back, took a deep breath, and imagined myself out there on the turquoise waters of the Great Bahama Bank, eating cracked conch and drinking beers with Nick and Tony Finneran. I found STANIEL CAY to be a real page-turner. There aren't a lot of complex twists, Nick just tells it pretty straight, but he keeps the tension high throughout the book. I read the entire book in a couple of one-hour sessions while listening to Jimmy Buffet music and drinking a Corona. There are a few uninteresting passages here and there, but they do not detract from the overall story.
