The Accidental Sailor: December 2011
http://accidentalsailor.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wherein a guy who isn't much of a sailor yammers on about sailing, and life's associated flotsam and jetsam. Fellow earth travelers be forewarned: The occasional use of salty language may be employed, so you lilly-livered types might want to get off the boat right now. Watch your step as you de-board. Saturday, December 17, 2011. Rail meat, happy as clams. Man decapitated exercise conducted on John's boat. It would help to know a detail or two to fill out the scene a bit. The finger docks at this est...

Friday, July 18, 2014. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Deb and I had been enjoying some face time with relatives on terra firma. I recently heard from my pal Ron about a trip he and his daughter h...

Despite the successful completion of ...

Mary Stella's Postcards from Paradise: Boating and Dolphins = Joy
http://marystella.blogspot.com/2012/05/boating-and-dolphins-joy.html
Sunday, May 06, 2012. Boating and Dolphins = Joy. It's no secret to anyone that I love being out on the water. I have had a bad jones for a boat trip for weeks now. I hadn't been out on my boat since before Christmas! Got the steering repaired, but the wind and bad weather continued. There were great conditions one week in April, but, of course, it was the week that I was away! Today, everything came together! So, a brief delay, but not a fun-stopper. With the boat now properly drained, we fired up t...

Mary Stella's Postcards from Paradise: October 2011
http://marystella.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. Bad Asses, Jerk Whisperers, and Recognizing Our Own Awesome. Honey, I'm home! I'd love to say that I've been absent from the blog for several weeks because I was whisked away on an exotic trip by a thrilling man. Or because I was on the verge of a breakthrough on fixing every world problem. Or because I've been in deep negotiations to sell my books for major motion pictures. Hell, I haven't even been to see a movie in a couple of months. In addition to the written work, YouTub...

http://marystella.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 05, 2012. My aunt called me last night to chat. She wanted to know how I was doing post-surgery. I wanted to know how she's doing since my uncle passed away in December. Toward the end of the phone call she remembered something that she'd meant to tell me before. She's going to be a great-grandmother! The older daughter of one of my cousins will deliver her first child in August. Old Child eyes don't see the vibrancy, the beauty, or, God forbid, the sexiness. So, I'm really not sure why the...

Mary Stella's Postcards from Paradise: February 2012
http://marystella.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. Over the last year or so, I realized that, prepare yourself for the shock bibliophiles, I have too many books in my house. The paperbacks are double stacked on my floor to ceiling bookshelves. My master bedroom was overrun with bags of books. The office that could qualify me as a hoarder had boxes teetering on other boxes of books until I couldn't find the room to even walk into the room. I wasn't allowed to lift any boxes or bags so Mar dragged them out of my office to my recl...

Tuesday, February 5, 2013. This is a good idea because why again? 8221; know that you would be wrong. I used a small digital camera on a rod with a flashlight attached, and got video of a trickle I thou...

Chapman, that ultimate arbiter of all things nautical, points out that no other flag should be ...
