As a fellow liveaboard one of my favorite comments is exactly that and thought of it as a title to MY next book "That Sounds Like Fun!" ....Enjoy!! It's all worth it. We've been on the hard for almost a year with our wooden girl. ~J
Oh you busy busy busy writer-sailor et al! A day in the life (before setting sail). The photos are beautiful. Looks like fine weather ahead, Jennifer. So true about hearing non-writers tell you they're going to, or could have, written a book. I bet you have heard that more than most, once people hear you're an editor. I always smile and say in my best Gemini voice, what I heard from Dan Poynter years ago, "Everyone has a book inside them."
Loved reading your article. Always enjoy reading you, smooth as buttah and relatable...... like we're sitting here sharing a cuppa. You write like you talk..... and bolder. I like it!
My dream never was to live on a boat. My dream-self must have known some of it would be like this. Thank you for a chore-by-chore, step-by-8000-step description of your morning. All that and you still got your #1000 words in. You must be a 'real' writer.

Great title idea. We did 4 months in the boat yard last spring and summer. Hang in there!

That's lovely to hear from you. Means a lot to me. Waahh.

Much thanks to Substack!
Wow, it sounds like 80 percent preparation and 20 percent sailing. Or something like that. But I bet the anchorage at the end of the day is relaxing.
Yes. We're relaxing now.
This might inspire me to describe a day in the orange grove! Happy sails.
Do it!
Do it! I bet you hear the same sort of thing right? Farming must be fun!
