Unit of Water, a Unit of Time Joel White's Last Boat

"Whynott spent a lot of time with White in the months preceding the boat makers death, and he gathered much good material on life growing up with E.B. and Katharine White (Whynott tries not to make it sound like an idyll, but it comes across as pretty sweet, and it must have been fun to be the test pilot for Stuart Little), as well as an honest taste of a day's measured rhythms in the boatyard. Whynott lovingly details the work being done, and the characters doing the work, on new boats and boats brought in for repair to the boatyard, now run by White's son Steve...."Whynott, Douglas is the author of 'Unit of Water, a Unit of Time Joel White's Last Boat', published 2000 under ISBN 9780671785260 and ISBN 0671785265.
