I LOVED this book and have also read Bode's other two books: First You Have To Row A Little Boat and Beachcombing At Miramar. Loved all three. Couldn't find a biography anywhere. So in the spirit of 'If not me, then who?' I culled everything I could find - mostly from Bode's own words, book forwards and book jackets, plus a little bit online - and wrote this brief biography at my blog, which also includes book excerpts:

This blog post gets hits from all over the world every single day. Richard is still reaching a devoted audience, and it is my pleasure and honor to contribute in my own small way to his legacy.

Good book. It was fun reading a book that takes place in the neighborhood where I lived. If only I understood all the nautical terms regarding sailing, but I was strictly a power boat owner. Thanks to my friend Quigley for the recommendation !!!

One of the best books I have had the pleasure to read. I have since read all Richard Bode's books and could find nothing about him until this blog of Joseph Gunn was posted check it out https://josephgunnwriting.wordpress.c...

it is a nice "feel good" story about a boys summer, made me reminisce about a few times of my youth
