Mr Sandman,

Thanks for the update, I was interested in seeing this one when I heard about the filming.
It might mention it somewhere in the movie, I believe the film was supposed to follow of one of Joseph Lincoln's books, "Cap'n Eri". I read a number of his books and thought it was one of his best along with "Rugged Water" which was a depiction of life at the Nauset lifesaving station. . What I remember most is that no author ever sent a boat into the surf like Lincoln. He could keep you turning the pages and most of the lifesaving stories he told were his depictions of actual rescues.

Funny you mention the dialog, Lincoln was a master at the old Cape dialect. It takes a while to get used to it when you read him.
