Blue Skies and Stormy Days by Mereo Books

by Kevin Cooney

In his first book, Pulpits and Plain Sailing (2017), Kevin Cooney related how he had taken his business from a  back-garden engineering shop to the biggest independent supplier of stainless steel rails and fittings for yachts in the UK. Once the business was well established and his son James could take the helm, Kevin found more time to indulge his own passion for sailing, and in recent years he and his wife Ann have spent every available moment sailing the Atlantic from east to west in a succession of yachts. This book, based on the diary Kevin has been keeping for nearly 50 years, tells of long days riding the waves in the Caribbean sun, evenings yarning with fellow sailors, storms and shipwrecks, along with the continuing story of the company he founded, Cooney Marine.
