how, as a teenager in post-World War II 1948, he and
his cousin Tony leave the cold Massachusetts winters

from the pre-tourist days of Miami, and discover a
wrecked sailboat in the mangroves, which they
rebuild and sail to the Bahamas.
The teenagers experience the tranquil life in the
Caribbean before the tourist boom, but soon
uncover a plot that could prove to be the opening
salvo of the cold war! The boys are incredulous to

STANIEL CAY.
"With his trademark vivid yet matter-of-fact imagery, troubadour tales
of big fish, island girls, bad monkeys, and the Italian Pirates of the
Caribbean, Finneran has once again set the standard for nautical nerd
fiction."
Nick Finneran’s CAY SAL BANK is the sequel to STANIEL CAY. Young Nick
and his cousin Tony are cruising in their sailboat and enjoying the lazy days in
the Caribbean in the years 1949-1950. Nick opens a fishing charter business,
finds a girlfriend and writes a biography of his famous uncle, the 17th
century Neapolitan pirate Captain Benozzo Di Napoli. Life is good.
But alas, Nick and Tony’s Caribbean tranquility is once again disrupted by
the Soviet Navy. Ten years before the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Russians are
supporting the Cuban Communists, and the Finneran boys are drawn into the
fray.
