Serena was their first sailing vessel. A 32-foot Grand Banks trawler was their next “little ship,” christened Sea Story in honor of first mate and author Mary Jane Hayes.

Under the skilled direction of author Mary Jane Hayes, you will be taken along as she and her husband Warren pursue one adventure after another. You may yourself be a lover of boating and the cruising life, or you may be someone simply fortunate enough to love the company of a good book and a good story. In either case, you are certain to remember the enjoyable time you spend on that lazy afternoon, during those stolen moments at lunch, on your daily commute, or whenever you choose to cast off with Serena to Sea-Story II.
