   This is the page-turning story of a man who walked out of college, went to sea, and lived life on his own terms. From the 1920s until the 1980s, Captain Kenedy mastered ships delivering cargo while supporting a family and doing what was necessary as he sailed up and down the eastern seaboard of North America from Nova Scotia to the Caribbean.

   The incredible life of Captain Lou Kenedy was framed by the 10 vessels he owned and skippered. Preferring sail to engine power, even after the middle of the twentieth century, he made a profit hauling cargo between the Caribbean, Canada, and the northeastern United States. Lou Kenedy's character was shaped by the hard necessities of the way of life he'd chosen, but tempered by great humor and an unsinkable zest for life.
   Author Joe Russell spent over two years working with the captain's family, gathering the stories that surrounded his life and vessels. Joe is a blue-water sailor and author of articles in Cruising World magazine as well as two cruising guide books.
