Book Description
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for reading My book. It is my hope that as you read you will find at least one chapter that speaks to you in such a way that you will want to read it again and again, and perhaps share it with my friends. I have written these chapters primarily for sailors or those interested in sailing. I hope however, that the selections of the points or ideas within this book might be enjoyed by many others who simply have an interest in, and a love for Book. My style is simple and unsophisticated. If you are an acute student of writing who counts syllables and study rhyme and meter, my ideas will probably be a disappointment to you. If, however, you read book simply for enjoyment and relaxation, thenmy book may speak to you in a special way and give you hours of pleasure. For it is this reason I write this book. I like to say my ideas of sailors and my love for sailor is nothing more than a story that rhymes… hopefully! It is my wish that my straight-forward and easy to read style is refreshing, and appeals to your taste. It has been my experience that many times it is helpful to understand what was going on in the sailors or seafarer’s life and mind of the author at the time she was writing such experiences, to better gain an appreciation of the book. With this thought in mind, each idea in the selections of this book will be preceded by a short stories and experiences by me. The commentary will give a short explanation, information, or simply set the mood for the reading. I have also added some short stories, poems about current sail ships adventures in the appendices of this book. It is my hope that the skills, as well as the stories in the appendices will add to your reading pleasure. I should mention at this time that some of my ideas reflect my faith. I think however, that these chapters will be appreciated and definitely not be found to be offensive by those persons of other faiths. It is my deep belief that we are all on our own faith journey and all are deserving of respect and reverence. Consequently, I will never intentionally write anything that would be disrespectful of any religion. As the title of this book indicates, all chapters are about sailors or sailing adventures. Many were simply conjured up from my imagination. Whether the chapters my ideas are grounded in fact or fiction, it is my hope that within these pages you will be carried away from the cares of this world to a land far away. Some of the ideas may make you sad. Some may make you laugh. Others may leave you scratching your head wondering what that was all about. Whatever your reaction, my hope is that you enjoy what you are about to read and consider the following pages my gift to you. Now find a soft comfortable chair. Throw another log on the fire. Get yourself a hot cup of tea. Open the pages of this book and prepare to let your imagination carry you away.
