Wow! Was that second story from this spring and you are now land locked? We had a boat for the first 11 years we were married. I can relate to the thrills and the spills. But we were on the river...we could, if needed float home. But no such luck on the "big lake". I'm just hoping you arm yourself with a satellite phone for a time when you might not be lucky enough to have the "power" to even stay in place. Always the safety girl!
Very much enjoyed your account of your two nights within the “green diamond”, Jeff. Just enough suspense, humor and relatable feelings to be there with you. Safely home and warmed up, I can fall asleep now. Wonderfully descriptive writing, Jeff… thank you so.
Well reading that was ecstasy so I wrote a comment. Now I'm through the agony of being sucked into some subscribing and profiling and emailing. I can't comment again.
That was a fun read. Thanks for the lights in the sky and the reality of the experience. You have reminded me of my sister's sailing story almost around the world and ending in loss of the boat, but the beauty of expression that makes it worth reading and hopefully worth living it for her. It is "At Less Than Walking Speed" by Mary White. I also wonder if you've read "Lila" by Robert Pirsig that I think might have started near your chosen home. I started in Consciousness Commons but I will return.

Thanks Cheryl. Life, huh?

Love the comparisons of two grand adventures!
