Maritime Books on The Point
This morning, to help celebrate Cape Cod Maritime Days, Mindy, Melanie & I talked about maritime books. And a reminder that tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. we will be having a maritime concert, Songs of the Sea featuring Hogan’s Goat Irish Band. A FREE Maritime Event, which as we say will be fun for all ages! So now the books (Melanie’s will be added as soon as she gets her list to me):
