Ok, you win. Impressive. May the God's take pity and open a huge window for you.

The gods are still laughing. Let's not kid ourselves.

More seriously, rejoice as we have a gloomy dark day in Tonga, even rain.

Laughing indeed.

I so identify Nestor! In our case we took the tiny window the gods tempted us with. Once we were committed, a floating speck on the sea, they hammered us. Over and over. Just surviving gave us the last laugh, now we've arrived. There were not many laughs at the time...

Great “factional fiction”. I’ve been there thanks to you and S/V Roam and I have no regrets, only sentimental smiles.

Keep up the great work and writing. Kiss your first mate for me

Been there, done that ..well written. Good luck with your first novel.

Thank you for the kind note, Lin. I’d love to send you a copy of the novel. Count us among the 50,000 cruising lives you inspired and among the many who decided to write from a boat after reading your books.
