One Writer’s Happiness

Thirty seconds was all it took for me to get that little thrill of happiness as a writer.

I’d just returned from my morning run along the beach and decided to check my email before having breakfast.

This is what I found.  A lovely note. A person out there read my book and took the time to tell me what they thought.

Just finished your book and really enjoyed it! It kept me glued to until I could finish the book. The mystery, and the family issues. 
Your descriptions of the anchorages all through the Exumas are so spot on. From the crossing of the Gulfstream to the adventures in G-Town, your descriptions are so wonderful to read.
You captured the spirit of cruising the Exumas so well. Even down to the mental mind set of being in Georgetown, with all the different “personalities”. Even mentioning “Top to Botttom”, which I must admit brought a smile to my face.
We cruised the Bahamas for thirteen years on our catamaran. And again, your really did capture the spirit of the islands.–

Thanks for reading.

Cruising Friends

#sailing It’s Wednesday again and time to post about cruising in the Bahamas.

I thought it was time to share some other boats that we cruise with. Buddy boating is a lot of fun, and we tend to meet with different friends on and off throughout the season. Here is Jabulani (Africat 42) chasing us into an anchorage after a beautiful day on the Bahama Banks.

We have a Lagoon 380, S2, but hang with all kinds of boats. The power catamaran can blast past us if they want, but they like to be social too. Part of the fun of being in the isolated anchorage is bringing our own friends with us.

Someone always catches a fish, and then they get to provide dinner.
