This mesmerizing photographic and literary log book unravels the mysteries of more than 70 islands dotting the sea from New York Harbor at the mouth of the Hudson to Fishers Island Sound. This magical island world, hiding in plain sight, is revealed aboard
documentary filmmaker and writer Thomas Halaczinsky's 30-foot sailboat. His course follows the route of Adriaen Block, the first European who, in 1614, sailed and
mapped this area. On old marine charts, these islands have curious-sounding names such as Money Island, Pot Island, and Rats Island, while names such as Rockaway, Jamaica Bay, and Montauk speak of the indigenous people who once inhabited the land. Rooted in history, local tales are interwoven with current themes such as climate change and wrapped in the narrative of sailing in quest of a sense of place.
