hey, Chris. I think we've gotta see a lightship now after reading the book.

I also want to see the Little Red Lighthouse, which is by the George Washington Bridge. It's the subject of another kids' book. Oh, and might as well add the fireboat John J. Harvey to the tour, too! (That one was in Maira Kalman's picture book "Fireboat."

Thanks for the review.

Ahoy,

I served on the Lightship WLV-605 "RELIEF" off Point Alva WA for 18 months in 1972-73. I loved the duty and the station and have many fond memories. If you have any questions about living on a lightship I'd be happy to chat via e-mail.

Smooth Seas to you,

Hi Chris,
It won't come as any surprise to you that I loved this book. I did write a review while I was reading for the Cybils. One of the best things I found was this book trailer.
