GROTON — On a recent Wednesday, a group gathered at the Groton Senior Center to hear author Richard Meibers talk about his new novel, “Falling off the wind.” The book explores the world of a relatively unknown subculture, that of the “Boat Bums,” those who have left the larger society to live on sailboats in places like the Caribbean and the South Pacific.
