Captain Hagen's vintage wooden vessel was comfortable and accommodating in all ways for our party of six old friends, but the revelation was the skipper's detailed knowledge of north haven, where we've had a home for many years. He shared what he knew about the waters and coastline features both there and along Shelter Island... in waters we'd sailed past many times in our own old cutter without the benefit of a great story teller's rich narratives. There are creeks and inlets and beaches we'll want to explore again, thanks to a delightful summer evening cruise with just the right captain on just the right vessel for the job.
