It's been a few years ago since Dagny and I took Float Street to the Spanish Main for the first time. It was exciting and romantic. I've read definitions of the Spanish Main that include Florida and in fact all of the countries touching on the Caribbean, but for me it was the north coast of South America--the place where honest (right?) traders hid from the pirates in Mochima. It was a good spot. You can't see anything easily from the sea and Mochima has fresh water as well as fish, and even dyes. We sailed from Port of Spain, Trinidad to Mochima, as it happens, with an overnight stop at a small fishing village in a secluded cove (that's another story). It was fun. Dagny hooked a wahoo and I lost it for her (it's okay to blame the boat's high transom -- I did) and then something (a tuna, we were told by knowledgeable fishermen) took the large lure, almost pulling our 72-foot boat to a halt and straightening all of the hooks on the lure. This was just off Carupano for those of you with maps. I imagine the fish is still there if you want to go check.
Anyway, remembering all this adds to my excitement in announcing that with the help of Steve Badger's narration we've brought the Martin
Billings mysteries to life in audiobook form. Both
UNDER LOW SKIES and
DEATH BENEFITS, which take place in Venezuela and Grenada a few years back when things were still like they were during the years we were there.
But don't waste time reading more when you can be listening
to both. And if you aren't into audio, remember they are both available in ebook and paperback too.
