Hugh, I think we may share the same fundamental problem: given the choice, we'd both rather be sailing.
I'm a Norwegian sea captain and lifelong sailor, born on the coast up here, and I published my first novel this year, SOLSTORM: The Sky Went Wrong. Quite a bit of it happens at sea and aboard boats, and those were some of my favorite parts to write.
If the book ever happens to cross your path, I'd be genuinely interested in one thing above all: whether you think I got the sailing right. An opinion on that from another sailor would mean a great deal.
In the meantime, I thoroughly enjoy following someone who managed to make both dreams work, the books and the boats. Tommy
