The narrative centers on Robert Hale, a US congressman from a prominent Maine family, who shares his youthful passion for sailing along the New England coast before World War I. Through ship logs and journals, he reflects on his adventures aboard his sloop, Thetis, capturing the essence of a bygone era infused with romantic ideals. The book explores themes of innocence and the contrasting perspectives of America's isolation from European cynicism, painting a vivid portrait of Hale's world shaped by both nature and the people he encountered.
