THESE ARE THE NAUTICAL CHRONICLES, BOATING STORIES AND RELATED ANTICS

Just the other morning, while reading Northeast Boating, I asked Louise what her three most memorable boating adventures have been. She immediately said her first was the sighting of the Statue of Liberty while coming down the East River; her second was our trip from Castine, Maine, through the Eggemoggin Reach, and her third was our bare boat charter out of Road Town, Tortolla, BVI to Anegada Island. It amazes me how she and I can have such different ideas. My most memorable voyages, to date, have been the “Rogue Wave” that broke over our bow on the way out of the river one day, the “Assault on Hogg Island” one night by Paul and me, and the day the dolphins traveled with us out beyond Cape Ann (discounting of course, our first trip to the red marker from Larry’s Marina).

READER COMMENTS: Lisa C.: “Characterization is one of the most important elements of any successful story. I always love it when I leave a story feeling like I know the characters. This is true for your prose. So many authors rush through their stories without really developing them. Not you. Your book read like a movie in my mind. You have crafted a quality piece of writing. Bravo!” Lynne B.: “Nice job! I can relate to some of the more hair-raising adventures we’ve had boating, but most of all, the great memories we have made with our family and friends...looking forward to more!” Martha S.: “Terrific!!! Very fun to read...I could hear you telling the story Capt. Bob!!!” Jenn K.: “Published at last!!! Good for you; look forward to more tales of “trips of epic proportions” as told by The Captain and First Mate!” Brian H.: “A wonderful read and a kindle in all of us who share our lives with the sea, loved ones, family and friends...” Peter M.: “Another hilarious installment of the adventures of Nautical Chronicles! Thank you so much! I’m going out to purchase my toilet seat today for my next trip to France.” Betsy M.: “You’re ALL Nuts!! Hilarious!” Lynn Z.: “Hilarious. Your story telling is of ancient lore. You crack me up!”
