Attaboy for Brewster!!!
Posted: May 22nd, '07, 23:12
I hope I am not out of line here for taking up a new line when what I am actually doing is adding some info to my earlier post about the best way to get into Sag Harbor. Please understand that I do not want this post to be lost and ignored behind a dozen or so above it...
Many of you with local knowledge responded here, and the information from all was very much appreciated.. thank you all!
But, I would be remiss without telling you here that only several hours after I first made the post I received a direct email from Brewster Minton. He simply said he would personally meet my friend outside of Shinnecock Inlet and lead him through. I was overwhelmed, and my friend was even more so! To offer to a complete stranger to personally go out of your way and meet him and lead him to safety is to me the sign of a true gentleman and in the very highest traditions of the sea. I can only hope that I would act in the same way if I could help a stranger at sea.
So, Faithful.. know that there is one among you who has set a fine example of what we all might hope to be! Brewster.. I would be proud to follow in your wake anytime!
Thank you!
