Review
"Joe Coomer writes beautifully. . .Passages were so relevant to my own life, descriptions so true, that I was immediately quite jealous I had not said them first." --Dan Hays, author of My Old Man and the Sea
"Whether talking to or reading Coomer, one senses that he has a happy life, rich in family and boats. . . Coomer writes of love with the force of James Agee's A Death in the Family, and moves through time with the skill of a Lillian Hellman's Pentimento." --Sailing
"My first throught when I finished reading Joe Coomer's Sailing in a Spoonfull of Water was: What an honor to have read this book. . .It is just about perfect." --Dallas Morning News
