I have always worked at sea, and stared doing so before the days of video and computers - reading was how I passed the time - I tended towards science fiction and fantasy, but many other genres also came my way. I wouldn't say I've ever read any 'bad' books, they all have merit - but I had the crazy idea, that perhaps i could write one too - plus we all have our own story! If anybody remembers a Commodore 64 computer - that's what I started on, then life happened - I'm glad it did! It gave me much more to write about.

Just a bit about me. II'm married with three grown children, and a great lover of dogs! ( in particular Husky's ) I'm very much do it yourself type of person - If I can do it myself I will, or figure out how to do it - everythi

The deeper the sea and the farther away from land and there is just a tang of salt, fresh and clear. A cool light wind is best, you know the air around you is pure. It can be a mystical experience, yes you are with other humans on the vessel, but you can be alone when all you can experience is sea in every direction, the weather and clouds changing as time progresses. The smell of the sea off Africa is different than the smell in the Arctic off the coast of Norway or Greenland. There is life everywhere and what we smell is the life - the smells of life on the land or in the sea - good or bad, it's up to us to classify and judge. But when it's just the salty tang, that's the best, you know it's good and the mind and thoughts can move to higher places.

I have spent much of my life riding around on motorcycles - smell is a major part of that also. Every new part of the road or just around a bend can bring different smells, it's all a part of the experience - and that's what life is for - to experience ( and cherish )!(less)

Darryl Chislett Hi Sandra - thanks for the acceptance! Not sure how everything works around here so just being polite and responding back! I'm just getting used to all this - took me 10 minutes to find your comment LOL - Yes, somebody told me I should be on Goodreads - I've only ever cruised the wife's Facebook account and not sure what all that is about either! So far only conclusion I've come to is that people who read books are better people! Cheers and Happy New Year


Sandra Hi Darryl,
Thanks for the friend-invite!:)
