What does it mean when a cruiser’s sailing blog slips into silence?
Sometimes, the sailor is busy sailing. He can’t write, because he’s at sea. She doesn’t post, because she’s too busy living the seafaring life.
Wouldn’t it be jolly if that were my excuse?
Well, I’m sorry to say, silence reigns here because Sea Venture is still on the hard.
I know. Amazing.
But true. So, here’s the update. She looks terrible. The poor dear has her stuffing pulled out and her mizzen still off, and there’s dirt everywhere. Nothing is as dirty as a boatyard.
I’m hoping this is the storm before the calm. A mess on its way to clean. The beast about to become a beauty.
Sigh.
So, that’s why I’ve been silent. Not because we’ve been too busy sailing.
I will say that I’ve also been just a tad preoccupied with my writing.
Oh, didn’t you know that I write women’s fiction from a sailor’s perspective? I do. And my first Beaufort story will be released sometime toward the end of the year or the first of next year in both print and e-book format. You can keep track of that by coming by to say “Hey!” on Facebook. Or hanging out at the writing blog: Writing on Board
Looking forward to seeing you there!
