Draft Article I Penned for Latitude38

Living Aboard Christa in Naples Florida

I am just putting the finishing touches on this article before submission to Latitude38, an excellent west coast sailing rag. This article gives the fullest explanation as to why I've cut short my intended circumnavigation. I would appreciate any feed back. Thanks!

Hey Chris, that's a good read. You do have a knack for sewing the words together. Cheers from Australia.

Christian,
We totally get it! We also know for certain you will one day make it around the blue planet, the chick that gets to share that trip (and we hope kids too hehe)will be lucky. Maybe we will get to see you as we hopefully work our way down the WEST coast! Nice work on the article.

Chris, do not begin any sentence in the first person (with the letter, I) let alone the first sentence in a paragraph. Writing in the first person should only be done sparingly if at all. Informally, in a letter to a friend or family? No problem. In a formal paper or article it is at best, boring to read and at worst shows laziness on the part of the author.
