I guess I am lucky to have met Phil Crossman in person before reading his book. Living here on Vinalhaven would be my dream come true. It would be nice to live in an area where everyone knew each other and at the same time be able to give each other the space to rejuvenate. This book is a testimony of what life is like for the people that live year round on Vinalhaven. I have been there twice and I am about to go back for the third time. I told a friend of mine about the Tidewater Motel a few years back. His name was Fred. I met Fred while I was employed for a family physician. That was back in the day when there was time enough to get to know patients on a personal level. I loved the experience I had from going to Vianlhaven and Hurricane Island so much that I wanted to share it with friends and people I came in contact with after. Fred was the kind of person that loved to travel and we had a lot in common.I got a letter from Fred in 2006. He told me he went to Vinalhaven the year prior. He said "I'm so glad you shared your Hurricane Island experiences and family history with me. Hurricane is a beautiful place. We hit it on a sunny day. Glad you had let me read your book on Hurricane Island history-made our visit so much more meaningful. We stayed in the "Tidewater" on Vinalhaven and got a ride over and back with Bobby Warren, a local lobster fisherman-a very interesting guy. In Camden we bought 2 books-the one on Hurricane Island and also "Away Happen's" by Phil Crossman the Tidewater owner (funny)."Fred knew his days were numbered before he went to Vinalhaven. He mentioned in this letter that he had cancer. "Not great news but I'm old and have lived a great life". He was a friend that knew how to listen.
