Our wandering lifestyle aboard Nine of Cups allows us to visit many ports and places of interest. We're provided with lots of material wherever we go and writing articles is one way of sharing our travels and adventures. Long passages and quiet anchorages afford us plenty of opportunity and the time to get it all down in writing.

We have a number of published articles, most of which are listed here.  Our previous holiday newsletters and a few unpublished articles are listed here as well.  You can read any of these by clicking on the title. 

Most of these articles and newsletters are in .pdf format, which means you will need Adobe Acrobat loaded on your computer to open these files.  If you don't  have Acrobat, click on the "Download Adobe Acrobat" link to obtain a free copy.
