Gone with the Wind Vane
The Moorings, Caldmere
A hand-carved copper wind vane — the kind that belongs on a museum shelf — walked out of The Moorings on Saturday morning. The man it belonged to is furious. The three people who had access are each pointing at someone else.
Everyone has something to hide.
39. Former competitive sailor, shoulder injury at 26 ended his racing career. Athletic, political, adaptable. Charming but calculating. The smile doesn't always reach his eyes.
58. Builds and repairs boats. Came from the Azores at 17. Gruff, skilled, unsentimental about everything except boats. Speaks with an accent that thickens when angry.
A French-Canadian transplant who came to Caldmere for the seafood. An extraordinary chef, a terrible businessman. His food is transcendent. His management style is volcanic.
