These days Wright Gres is a tugboat captain living on a bluff over the Altamaha River in southeastern Georgia. But he is a Tampa native, who grew up sailing and working on anything that floated around Tampa Bay.
Now Gres has written a novel, “Macedonian Passage: Dangerous Cargo.’’ It’s a good read and for a first novel a very good read. He’s back in town and will be at the Inkwood Bookstore in Hyde Park Thursday at 7 p.m. He’s a likable guy tells some great stories.
