                                   Readers expecting a light hearted read about charters and chartering will find                                                                            all that and more in Voyage of the Capricorn Lady,  I and II.  I share hilarious stories about guests, crews, colorful island characters and events, but my books carry a deeper message. Dan and I left families and friends behind when we sailed from our lives in Central Florida in the mid 1970s, and the books explain what happened to send us off to live on the sea for almost twenty five years.

 

I invite you to travel with me though the pages of my life from the silver sands and warm waters of the Caribbean Sea to the rugged Oregon coast where Dan stood his final watch. I have written a very personal and revealing story about my life with Dan as I embark on a new phase of adventure as a single, independent woman.

My books will appeal to anyone who loves boating, snorkeling, dining, sailing, island societies, cooking, and all kinds of adventure. Anyone considering a career in the charter industry will find these books full of information about the history and evolvement of this interesting business as it grew and changed through the years. They may inspire you to leave the traditional world behind to sail the seas with paying guests or they may prove why this life is not for everyone. Sharing a small space with total strangers is a challenge that only a few can achieve with ease and grace.

Captain Dan T. Gilman III was one of the most charming and professional charter operators in the Caribbean for many years, and I was lucky to be the woman by his side. I hope you will read and enjoy my books as I remember happy days cruising with Dan, our crews, and our guests.

 

My third book, Ohnalee—Mermaid of Heceta Head, a paranormal fantasy set on the Oregon coast in the early 1900’s,  is available on amazon.com and all major bookstores.   The sequel, Mermaids of the Siuslaw—Quest for the Eyes of Atlantis continues the adventure about 1935. Both books are lavishly decorated with full page illustrations of Ohnalee and the Merfolk.  I bring my characters to the British Virgin Islands in the second book of the DRAGON MER TRILOGY.

.Dear Readers,

Hundreds of guests spent precious days aboard our boats, the 40’ Newporter Ketch Capricorn, the 55’ Trumpy Capricorn Mistress, and the sweetest vessel of all, the 71’ Trumpy Capricorn Lady. They were part of our lives as we cruised the waters of the Virgin Islands hosting charter friends from around the world. Folks from almost every country enjoyed our beautiful vessels, friendly hospitality, and delicious food. They laughed at Captain Dan’s jokes, and usually returned several times to savor the beautiful island world where we wandered from one tranquil harbour to another.
