The McCarthy sisters grew up spending summers in an old-world cottage on the white sand beaches of Martha's Vineyard. Despite squandering the majority of their young years in Noank, Connecticut, they still consider their most memorable ones as being spent on the island. Dar, Delia and Rory were well acquainted as girls with the many fishermen and affluent vacationers who all sought peace in the oceanscape. They sailed, swam and conversed blissfully, and have been left with fond memories of lying lazily upon sun-bleached beaches and setting sail with their dear old dad aboard his sailboat, The Irish Darling.
