Pirate's Ahoy!

My article, 'Pirates Ahoy!' in March's edition of All At Sea magazine can be read by downloading the magazine here.

This was such fun to research and write. The children were thoroughly enjoying themselves and only the older ones really realised just how much they were learning.

Anguilla is a small island but so many of the population do not go near the sea. Many cannot swim, which to me is amazing, considering that the main means of leaving the island is by ferry. My motto is 'Be Prepared' and that means making sure I have a fighting chance if I find myself in the water. The Anguilla Youth Sailing Club staff are trying to ensure that the island's children have that chance if necessary. The skills they teach will be useful throughout their lives.

All at Sea Magazine

I saw the double page spread I wrote for All at Sea magazine, on RFA Wave Ruler's visit to Anguilla, today (August edition). I know I did all the work in terms of writing and taking the photographs, but I must say, the editor, Chris Goodier, and the layout and design staff at the magazine, have really made the article look good! Thanks Chris!

For those of you who might like to read what I have written, keep an eye on www.allatsea.net and go to the Anguilla pages. July's edition is online at present and there is an archive if you fancy reading past articles. August will be available at the beginning of September.
