Emerald Bay - A Treb Lincoln...

Bob Bitchin

This is the second of the Treb Lincoln Novels by Bob Bitchin. 
Adventure at every turn! 
A small gray fishing boat loomed out of the heavy fog that surrounded the yacht, Rogue. 
The name could barely be read on the stern of the large boat through the fog. She was a William Garden designed ketch, well over 50 feet in length with her main mast sticking over 60 feet into the air and disappearing in the fog. She had graceful lines reminiscent of the sailing ships of old, with her clipper bow and canoe stern. Heavy black accent and boot stripes set off the stark white of her hull, with black sail covers keeping in touch with her pirate ancestry. Her raised poop deck was highly varnished, and she was a stately vessel as she sat calmly on her mooring. A small anchor light was visible at the top of her mast, and she was alone in the bay, looking as if she had sailed in from out of the past. What happens next will alter the lives of Treb Lincoln and his friends more than even he could believe!
