Dead in the Water (12 page)

Olivia didn't say anything. She just nodded, like everything was settled.

I looked out at the sun sparkling like tiny diamonds on the water. Maybe, I thought, delivery skippers didn't always have to sail alone.

A few years ago,
Robin Stevenson
bought a thirty-foot sailboat called
Tara
, fixed it up and left Lake Ontario with a plan to sail to the Bahamas. Despite knowing very little about sailing, she arrived safely in the islands a few months later. She spent a year living aboard her sailboat and is now ashore in Victoria, British Columbia. Robin is the author of several books for children and young adults.
