The New York's Mediterranean. Morton M. Hunt and a 33-foot sloop, "Merrywend," pictured above, joined forces for a two-week cruise in order to create "The Inland Sea" (Doubleday $3.95), a book which captures and distills the character of Long Island Sound and its varied harbors. But more than this Mr. Hunt has turned the adventure into a witty comment on modern man. He is author of five books, two of which were alternate Book of the Month Selections: "The Natural History of Love and Her Infinite Variety/"
