Here is my blog and video about the first season of sailing after my husband died. It's a steep learning curve, succes and failure, determination and frustration, happiness and loneliness. I just felt it had to be shared with others, as all in all it has been a great consolation and the best therapy you can get. I will be back on the boat in May and continue sailing, painting and blogging.

My condolences to u and your family! I can relate in some capacity to your loss. I lost my wife just over ten years ago to cancer. We sailed often the east coast of south Africa along the Durban coast. For me I found joy and peace in the freedom of the ocean after her passing. In some way there is a peace to be found ridding the waves and the wind in ur face of the great blue. God bless u and ur family. Stay strong and embrace being your own captain in his memory.

I tried to comment on your blogsite, but something's amiss, so I'll comment here.

Elizabeth, thank you for writing about your experiences, and I hope you have many more to share with the world!

It seems you have found good use for all the canvas in your life, your art is wonderful. Your blog is the only sailing blog I have read, and is very interesting. Please continue.
