Sailing into the Sunset

I've read many Kindle books on Amazon about Sailing, including: "Bumbling through Paradise" and other books about sailing in hurricanes and other misfortunes, like sailing across the English Channel, and jeopardizing shipping traffic. Also, "How to quit your job and live on a Sailboat." It all cured me of wonderlust. Maybe you should write about your experiences because it doesn't cost anything to publish to Amazon Kindle, just upload a MS Word document, and a picture for your cover... then set your price ( and associated royalty level). I can't afford to advertise, so my sales are very, very low, like a $1 a month. No joke. I also wrote a musical about Quilting, and it's a screenplay called, "Quilt Mania the Musical." Only one sale, (in almost a year now) but a fabulous review about it. Woman said "she liked the loving characters and the uplifting songs." Diana Fischer and I wrote the music to my lyrics. There are 8 songs. I know quilters will enjoy it, if only I could get it put on as a play or a movie.

For my sins, I lived on a yacht for 5 years (1986-1991). Lived on a Tradewind 33 based in Larnaca Marina on the Greek side of the Island of Cyprus. It was a tough time but, as they say, somebody has to do it!

Great sunset, but I'm a sucker for sailboats. Really nice shot. Wish it were mine.

Thank you for all of your replies. I thought I checked original, but after sending "download" wasn't there. I will give it another try. Also, Cameraf4, I do have other shots of the sailboat before and after the sun reflection and I liked this one better. I will post one. Thanks to all comments and suggestions, much appreciated.

While visiting Clearwater, FL, I was taking a few sunset pictures and in the distance I saw a sailboat coming toward the sunset. I waited for the right moment...then snapped! I think the timing was pretty good....
awesome shot. Here are a couple of my own. Not as nice as yours, but not bad, considering I used a bridge camera and took the shots from a moving boat

Me too, which is why I moved back to NYC from Ohio in 1986. Better to be a sucker for sailboats than for mail order brides. Both are money pits, but at least the boat can take you to the Caribbean while the other takes you to the cleaners

Excellent shot. Love the light that's coming through the sails.
