I write nautical suspense fiction and while I used to live aboard my Caliber 33 TALESPINNER in Fort Lauderdale, I've recently moved into a studio.

These days I teach English at Broward College for 9 months of the year so that I can cruise for 3 months in the summer.

Destinations visited:
Hawaii, Marquesas, Tuamotus, Society Islands, Cook Islands, Nuie, Tonga, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Fanning Island, California, Baja, Acapulco, Costa Rica, Panama, San Blas Islands, Jamaica, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Culebra, Virgins, St. Martin and the Leewards, the Windwards, Trinidad, Venezuela, Margarita, Bahamas, Florida Keys, Dry Tortugas, ICW, Chesapeake, Long Island Sound, New England, Southern Maine.
Looking to:
Sail to the Bahamas and Keys for a few months now, later, I'd love to cruise the Eastern US coast, the Western Caribbean and the Med.

Just Like a Woman

Posted on August 23, 2008 at 12:22am 3 Comments



Cooley’s Landing Marina



26 07.03N: 80 08.96W



Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 2 to 4 feet. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Isolated showers and thunderstorms.



I met a fellow today who told me that Tropical Storm Fay is behaving just like a woman – she just won’t leave us alone.



Then I got an email from a dear friend today who wrote, “The world assumes you made it home safely…..”



I’m… Continue

Bimini

25º43.61'N:079º17.95'W



I’m sitting in the main salon of my boat docked at the Blue Water Marina in Bimini listening to the sound of lapping water, distant music and the thrumming of a boat’s generator one dock over. At least tonight, I’m still awake past nine. Last night I was dead to the world at this hour.



I made my first overnight passage alone and nothing went wrong and I wasn’t scared out of my wits. Partly… Continue

Going to Sea

Posted on June 26, 2008 at 9:03pm 3 Comments



26 21.23N:76 59.15W

Scattered Clouds. High: 86° F. Wind ESE 8 mph.



The time has come to say good-bye to my summer sail through the Abacos. I have been down here at the southern end of the sea of Abaco going into Little Harbor and enjoying beers and the company at Pete’s Pub – and going out and anchoring off of Lynyard Cay and snorkeling and playing fetch with my dog Chip on the long empty sandy beaches. It has been a glorious… Continue

Hopetown Harbor

26 32.25N:76 57.60W

Scattered Clouds. Low: 80° F. Wind ESE 8 mph.



I’ve been sitting on a mooring in Hopetown Harbor, Elbow Cay for about five days watching all the boats come and go here in this very busy little harbor. There are ferryboats, fishing boats, dive boats, dinghies, charter boats, and cruisers. The harbor is so small and tight with moorings, they don’t allow anchoring. As soon as anyone gets… Continue

It's All About Amps, Baby

There are people who have written to me and asked about the snorkeling and diving in the Abacos and they have tried to remind me that the beauty of this part of the world is all under water. They are right. I can’t argue that point. However, that isn’t why I am here.



I have to go to work every day. Okay, sure, I am in paradise if you are a sailor and a diver, but the fact is that I must finish this book. I know people who live in some… Continue

Hi Christine,
I like your photo entry; so simple, so beautiful being out on the water in the calm of a morning sun or evening moon. Wish I could have joined you on your cruise from Abaco to NC. My summer was a 'stay home' and plan for next year,,,,,,,Sail safely and hope to x paths again, soon!

Good Morning Christine,
How's Ft. Lauderdale these days. I sure hope your new book comes out soon. I'm out of reading material. Do you have any authors you would suggest with novels like yours. I really like the ones that use water, island and boats as part of the story. Any great plans for sailing this summer?
Take Care, Bill

hi ck...take a look at my profile..see why i joined...and thx for the welcome.

Sure I recognize the scene. It's on the north dock, looking out toward the "lighthouse" that's not for navigational purposes and has an annoying strobe flasher instead of a proper beacon. Then again, my boat is on the south dock, facing away from the lighthouse, so what's my problem? Anyway, thanks for stopping by my SeaKnots page. See ya in NYC, perhaps.

Iced in and a little chilly. This afternoon will be spent under a quilt and re-reading Surface Tension in the desperate hope that it will make me somehow feel warmer.

thanks - I will
