Book 2 of the award-winning The Twisted Climb series |
Peace and tranquility are by-products of sailing. Capturing these serene moments are difficult. You have to choose between ‘leaving’ the moment to concentrate on a photo/recording device, or, still your soul to imprint the moment on your mind.

Imprinting
these special moments adds to the hundreds if not thousands of imprints in the
playground of your mind. As I write this, I’m on week two of a month-long
sailing vacation in Georgian Bay, Ontario. I’ve mentally captured hundreds of
images and stored them all over the playground in my mind. Some are on the
ladder steps leading to the zipline platform; some are tied to a slim-shady
bridge made of vines, and others are stored in the dark recesses of an old
wooden cupboard. All patiently waiting for the perfect moment, for the perfect
scene, for the perfect character.
I’m
anchored at The Bad River on the northeast side of Georgian Bay. When the
weather is bad here, it’s really bad. But when it’s good, it’s an earthly
paradise. This is the place that jumped from reality and into the playground of
my mind – and then leapt into the pages of my award-winning sequel, The Twisted
Climb – Darkness Descends. There you will find the Devil’s Door Rapids. There
too, you will find the treacherous waterfall and the great cliff.
