About this book
For the traveler who might not have a yachtjust a sense of
humor and a spirit of adventureStephanie Schorow proves you can still embark on a voyage through the Boston Harbor Islands. A practical guide, complete with camping tips and driving directions, East of Bostons droll travelogue takes the measure of these gloriously wild Edens all within sight of the citys skyline. Join Schorow around a campfire for some friendly conversation about pirate treasure, elusive foxes, cross-dressing ghosts, flying Santas and a strange era of spontaneously combusting garbage dumps. And if you are truly brave, perhaps take a sip of the park rangers Sumac-ade.
