    Water and Light by Stephen Harrigan

    Without giving anything away, this book summarizes the authors experiences on Grand Turk over a number of months. The imagery he weaves for the reader is spectacular, however he occasionally refers to some of his experiences as sexual fantasies. Apparently as a result of his Catholic upbringing (his description not mine).

    Weird sexual comparisons aside, this was an excellent read and has left me yearning to go diving. Unfortunately, I have to wait a couple of months for that.

    I read Water and Light many years ago before my first dives in the Florida Keys. A great book. Its siting on my shelf. I don't recall the "wierd sexual comparisons, but it has been a long time since I read it. By the way, I consider Harrigan's book, Jacob's Well, to be one of the finest novels about scuba diving ever written. I just wish he wrote more like these two books.
