Riding the Wild Ocean is a compilation of author Paul Krantz's wildest adventures over the years, from coastal New England to the Dry Tortugas, all in boats under twenty feet long. Beyond the sheer thrill of his experiences, this is a how-to manual for the serious sailor contemplating an open-ocean voyage in a small vessel. That includes equipping a boat for all-weather, day and night sailing, as well as gaining confidence and knowledge through gradual exposure to extreme conditions in controlled situations.

Local journalist and historian Frank Juliano takes us through the incredible stories of his town, including a series of vignettes about famous Milford residents.

Purchased for six coats, twelve iron axes, ten blankets, twelve hatchets, twelve hoes, two dozen knives, six mirrors and a kettle, the town of Milford has blossomed into one of Connecticut's most treasured places. . From the American Revolution, when seventy-three men from Milford marched to Boston to fight in the famous Battle of Lexington and Concord, to the backyard pit of a local farmhouse that was surely a stop on the Underground Railroad, Milford has its roots firmly grounded in the bedrock of American history.
