<p>Jerry Reid’s passion is exploring inland waterways, bays and estuaries in his 32-foot shallow-draft sloop, observing wildlife in quiet anchorages while eating good food, drinking box wine, and reading good books with his first mate Joni. He sails out of Bellingham, Washington.</p>

<p><strong>Jerry’s comments: </strong>Thank you for looking at this book. The characters in my stories are largely drawn from my experiences, ranging from digging ditches in Texas, a hitch in the Marine Corps, flying charter in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, building a 40-foot sailboat in my backyard, to sailing on a 10-year circumnavigation and visiting 40 countries. The characters also come from friends, relatives and acquaintances — so look for yourself, you may be in this book.</p>
<p/>
<p>The appeal to me of writing adventure stories is the opportunity to join with these characters, some far away or no longer with us — to enjoy their company once more in my memories, and see what they do this time. Stay safe in these times, and enjoy life. - Jerry</p>
