We haven’t met, I’m just one of your long-time readers, like before Isabel. Anyway, I’ve been married 26 years to the same woman, 3 kids, been around the world with the military, learned a lot along the way. Just wanted to offer food for thought, based on the assumption that you and Sam are still in love and it’s only Guin’s father demanding access to his child that is causing Sam to stay stateside.

If you love each other as deeply as you say, I can’t imagine choosing your cruising over your relationship with her. You can have both. Cruise back to Ft. Myers or New Jersey or where ever the heck she is and set up shop. You can blast out to Bermuda and back in a couple weeks. You can cross the Atlantic and back over a summer, and still be with her the vast majority of the time. You know the coast from Mystic south, it’s real pretty north as well. Cruise the east coast awhile and take the bus back home frequently. On your death bed, will you regret not having sailed farther and blogged more, or the fact that you let that sweet heart get away so you could do so. Bottom line, if you’re doing anything, even one little thing, because of this online audience you’ve generated or even your cruising friends then shame on you. Do what you want to do, not what you think we want you to do.

Just my $.02

I’d like to offer my regards. I know how a loss can take over one’s whole life. Try to remember, with change comes opportunity. This my friend is an opportunity, it’s up to you to find it! Take care and as an owner of two Bluesphere DVDs I can’t wait for another.

Changing the subject for a while. it would be great to see a short video clip of your beautiful spot in the San blas.Or even the long bus ride in Panama to get your papers in order. This could be a way to occupie your time while you start to recover.

Just a thought.

Sail Save
Curtis

Sam financially supported Michael Kiniry while they were together and through his internship at NPR, She is why he has his career. In return, he wouldn’t give her a divorce, offered her endless guilt and not a dime in nearly three years for the well being of his daughter. He came to visit her two times the year that we were cruising in Florida. All we asked was that he could see Guin whenever he wanted to and for him to pay for his travel expenses, that’s it. He took Guin for the summer and would not pay for them to return home. I don’t disagree with you that he is a “Nice Man” though, I just don’t think he is much of a man. I could go on about a lot more, but I don’t think Sam would want me to, so I wont. I sent Mike my own words, and that is enough for me. As far as I’m concerned he walks amongst the smallest of men I’ve ever known. I also don’t think he would appreciate you opening a public discussion as I have no problem sharing my feelings on my website. I’ll stop here.

If you were in his shoes’ wouldn’t you want Guin close – not in New Jersey? Guin’s father is a very nice man who accomodated Sam’s wishes to the point not seeing his daughter for neary ten months. He deserves some time.

But my friend, I feel I must now chime in where as I have never before. You HAVE lived the dream! You HAVE set goals and accomplished them. You HAVE been kind enough to allow all of us to follow and “play along” through your website, videos, etc. But, the only static in life is CHANGE! If you truly love this woman and child, then go to them! Be with them! Love them! I have lived aboard, but not cruised. I will regret not doing that. But I will never regret it so much as not to realize the blessing I have with my wife and two kids! Life is meant to be shared! And you do share through your adventures and website. But, there is a sharing needed more on the heart level with that special someone and not just “followers” on your website! Like I said, if you truly love Sam and Guin….GO TO THEM! Don’t live to regret this!
