For all those who got spammed with 30+ emails from this account, I apologize. Again. It seems that when I went in — with a new password — to set up email posting so I could send things from our SSB at sea, it enabled whatever/whoever to spam post to … Read more →
New Template
From Raquel, one of Terry’s other clients (http://nitewriter6.blogspot.com/) I learned about Blogger’s free templates. I know, I know: I should have figured these out long ago; I’m a little slower than most. So, let me know how you like this one. I’ve also changed the template for our sailing blog … Read more →
Facebook Update
Okay. All right. I concede. It’s victory to those who pushed me to join Facebook. Even with all of the hassles, the stolen blog, the email invitations to all and sundry and my subsequent embarrassment, I now admit that I’m having fun connecting with friends I haven’t heard from in … Read more →
Another One Down
Another manuscript out of my hands and into my agent’s. Of course, he may not like it, but that’s negative thinking, so I’d rather not go there. I’m glad I listened to the voice in my head and rewrote this story in the first person. All of my other stories … Read more →

Rewriting
I don’t know about you, but I think writing a piece, letting it lie dormant, and then going back with fresh eyes is a great idea. When I first wrote/rewrote/edited/rewrote Sailing Out of Darkness, I listened to a lot of folk who had various things to say about it. Cut … Read more →
In Guaymas Again
Leaving Bahia San Carlos. Kaisen, an 85′, 90 ton, steel converted Army work boat owned by Hugh and Victoria, is in the foreground. Heading to Guaymas into the rising sun. We may regret this move to Guaymas. Granted, it lets me walk with friend Diane from Daydreamer. And we’re closer … Read more →
