I loved reading this. Love ships and the sea and your detailed explanations are a lovely diary of your life. A friend of mine Melanie sang with you on cruises and wishes to connect again. She was so thrilled to find you while reading my Substack. The world is really such a small place in the sea of the Cosmos but I am so glad we are here. Thank you Charlotte. Xxx. Robin loved ships. The brothers as children sang their way to Australia and back again. So many stories to love. Xxx
Oh Wow!!! Thank you Dwina! I truly appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on my post! Sending you love and happiness!
I am excited to connect with your friend Melanie! Let me know how I can contact her? I would love to exchange old stories. Please feel free to share with her my post! What a coincidence I wrote about cruising this week!
When I read your stories, I don't know how to say this: so positive, full of life, great experiencies which you share with us, really very nice and different. Great, and I always find myself smiling at the end. I find your posts through Demi's substack - and I must thank her for show me the way. Sorry for my english, there are mistakes - but I'm from Croatia, so I'm sorry for that part. Mistakes, I mean. Anyway, must say this also - I have friend Tina here, she is in cascader bussiness, too. Of course, you are at the top, she is down there - because things which you perform, and her - are without any parallel. It is so lovely when you share parts of your life and experiences with us. Thank you. Always nice to read. Greetings from Croatia and God bless you
Thank you for another great story about your fabulous life, Charlotte!! Reading them has become a relaxing part of my cozy Sunday morning routine. I especially love that you give me a window to look through into worlds I've never seen...XOX
You touch my heart Jacqueline, I’m so blessed you read my blog, The circle of blessings here is amazing. I’m blessed to have lived a charmed life and blessed Gid has given me the means to tell my story and so blessed to have an attentive audience! I’m just feeling very happy today!
Such an enjoyable read, Charlotte. Thank you for telling us about your cruising adventures. Reading a book in the sun sounds excellent right now; “the sea of Cortez” is in a box under my bed waiting for its turn to be read, but I think I’ll move it up in the queue after reading your post.
Sending you much love and appreciation Jenn! Thank you for your support! I would love to hear your thoughts on John Steinbeck sea of Cortez. Reading his work about where the sea meets land in Riched my love for the ocean and nature! Have a magical day! 💜✨💫
Sending much thanks and appreciation R.H.! Please accept my apologies for not responding earlier. I just discovered your comment! Lol! Have a beautiful day!💖✨💖
Love your old photos and the Steinbeck advice advice about the sea. I al toying with the idea of going snorkelling or scuba diving soon but the shark thing freaks me out.
Sending you much appreciation Julie, indeed those are old photos and illustrations. Memories of times past! Snorkeling is pretty safe in clear shallow waters. My favorite place in the world is St. John’s Island in the Virgin Islands.
You'll like this, Charlotte—one of the screenplays I'm co-writing with my best friend is a zombie movie set on a cruise ship, so I'm reading your entries with great interest! 😉
My friend used to sail on cruise ships with her mother every year for about two decades, so she already knows about them. Me? I was on a cruise ship once, when I was six or seven, because back then flying from the U.S. to West Germany (as it was then called) was too rich for an Army Sergeant and his family. I remember really enjoying it...and that's about it.
Thank you DR! Incredible. I look so forward to your screen play when you publish it! How fun and a great setting for a Zombie film. I’m happy to be of inspiration! I’ll be writing more in the future.
Thank you for showing the "Land Lubbers" of the world what a Sea Baby's life is like. I spent a portion of my growing up years on the Coast just a bit south of you in Lompoc and spent as much time as I was allowed on or in the Surf. When I reached college age, ended up joining the U.S. Navy because I honestly couldn't see me on land for any extended time. I spent much of my Navy career performing magic at the Enlisted as well as Officers clubs. And as always, you paint a wonderful picture with your words. I continue to be a big fan! Then, you have to end it all with a bathing beauty/sun tan time photo that would make way too many of us men very happy, while our wives become extremely jealous! Keep it up, my friend! Looking forward to the next installment of your journey!
This was so much fun to read! I loved being taken on a journey behind the scenes of your journeys at sea, the details, entertainment, all like I was there! I could smell the mist of the great ocean! Thank you Charlotte! 💜✨🙌🏻
Thank you, I was hoping to enlighten the senses of those reading it - giving my readers the feeling of being there present. So I’m delighted you felt like you were also on my journey. Thank you very much Deborah! ✨💜✨💜✨

Thanks for the monsters and chiff hangers at sea... Almost can catch a whiff of that fresh salty air. “ Where the Blue meets the Blue.” Thank you!
Thank you Doc! Sending you much appreciation. Blessings to you! ✨💖✨

I will let you know how I like it, though I wish I could be reading on the sea like you ☺️. Enjoy your weekend!

There's really no "thee" in "Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.”
Schicken Sie Ihre Beschwerde an Alfred Tennyson😏 😏😏
Das war keine Beschwerde, nur eine Tatsache. Schönen Tag noch!
Schicken Sie Ihre Beschwerde an Alfred Tennyson😏 😏😏
Da es sich um ein Gedicht handelt, bedient sich der Autor einer poetischen Lizenzierung
Ja, aber das war sehr altmodisch: "thee."
Sowieso, jedem Tierchen sein Pläsierchen. :-)
The magic in you extends to your life stories and writing, truly enjoyed this post. Lots of love.
Sending you much love Amrita, thank you so much for reading my post and commenting. I’m truly blessed ✨🤗
Stay beautiful! 💞💫💞
What an amazing seafaring saga! I can hardly wait for next installment!

I loved the poem at the start.
I also really enjoyed your reflections on and respect for the sea. I love the ocean, it’s affect on me is ineffable.
Thanks :)

Thank you Allison, I hope you enjoy a cruise someday. I think it’s a great get away! I’ll check my email! Blessings to you! ♥️✨
