SMA-911, Medical emergency Resources Available in San Miguel de Allende, MX
--Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
In our new city, did my husband Carl and I know what to do in a medical emergency? We didn't have a clue.
To get answers and to help others who pondered that same question, I needed to do some research and find out what emergency resources were available in our adopted city of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. My purpose was to put out there what I found, and if it provided enough information for others to chart a course of action in case of an emergency, this project met its purpose.

Green Flash
--Jessie and Neal Fox survive ambush and sabotage while delivering to authorities a video camera they salvage off the Mexican Riviera. Could these attacks mean the tape holds proof that a fatal accident at sea was really murder?
Under a full moon and miles from shore, Neal Fox slumps in a dripping wetsuit sipping an orange soda. He can't explain it, but he would rather not get involved. His eyes slide to the tangle of branches he moments ago secured to the boat. Next to him in Dana's cockpit, Jessie, his wife and shipmate, share in the struggle of what to do next. When conditions are calm, they often enjoy a game of "Name That Flotsam" but no contest has ever come up with something like this. Tangled in the branches float the unidentifiable remains of a person. And sitting between Neal and his loving companion is a video camera attached by velcro to what is left of the body. So what could the video camera reveal?

GREEN FLASH
"Authentic, fast paced, and good fun, can't
wait for the next one." -- Lin Pardey, sailor, author, and editor
"We are not sailors, but we loved every bit of this thriller
and the insight it gave to the cruising community. Not only did Lawson keep us
in suspense as to who did what, but she was adept at making us feel the heat of
Mexico, the quality of life in the cruising community, the lushness of the
mountain retreat at Alta Linda, the freshness and coolness of the ocean breezes,
the love between Neal and Jessie, and the tension and friction that comes not
only between them but also between them and their friends while they try to
decide what to do with the video camera. A great mystery that will keep you
hooked until the last page."

"Don't be put off by the fact that the setting is a couple's sailboat journey. You don't need to know ANYTHING about sailing to enjoy this book -- Ms. Lawson clearly realizes that most of her readers don't know the difference between a jib sheet and a mainsail sheet, and aren't about to learn. If you don't know anything about sailing, you can still enjoy this book. If you love sailing, you'll love it all the more. But the sailing does NOT get in the way of the story." --an avid fan of book one

Five Agreements for the Cruising Couple
The Five Agreements booklet is the result of information gained through a survey given to twenty-seven couples we met while cruising. All of the survey participants cruised for at least a year, and many for more than that. They have been to foreign ports and made at least one sea passage of three days or more. Several of our couples have been at sea numerous times and many have crossed an ocean. Relationships face a unique challenge when taken to sea, and although I’m not a professional, I thought our collective experiences would be of interest to others, who are thinking about turning their dream into a reality.
The Relationship is as vital a system to the boat as the electrical, engine and sail systems. With care and maintenance, it can flourish and weather any challenge the sea has to offer.

Ten Tips to Cruising Freedom
Where to begin? What needs to be considered? Can I/we really do this? This booklet reviews issues we and many of our cruising friends thought about in the months and years before departing. If you’ve already made the decision to go, you, too, have probably begun thinking about these topics. The information in Ten Tips is meant to confirm your thinking, or present new possibilities. It's nearly impossible to ignore the urge to go, so as Nike puts it, "Just do it."
