Sailing Angels - 2015 Highlights & News (Sailing Angels Crew on Nighty Night Sailboat

Nighty Night Sailboat Series Features Sailing Angels

A new addition to the Nighty Night Sailboat children's series is "Sailing Angels Crew on Nighty Night Sailboat."  Written by Susan Renne Fletcher Siewers, the series is about Juni, a little girl who lives with her parents aboard Nighty Night Sailboat. This episode describes how our organization brings water therapy to veterans, children with special needs and wounded warriors and tells the importance of doing good deeds. It has a poem and coloring pages. Available on Amazon; proceeds benefit  Sailing Angels.                   Dear Renne   Greetings!   HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you. Our exciting news is that we were privileged to have hosted 1,323 participants in 2015; we did so with more than 30 yachts (both sail & motor) and 90 volunteers. This was rather remarkable considering that we were plagued with poor weather in the first 5 months. (Most of that period was spent canceling reservations and re-scheduling and more re-scheduling!) However, despite the slow start we were able to accommodate almost all registrants. For those we missed due to scheduling conflicts either on our 'end' or yours, I invite you to quickly re-register and we will give you top priority.   Pausing for a moment, I think back to when I and many of our team began this charitable 'hydro-therapy' service 8 years ago. Wow, how time flies when you're having fun!   Over that period we have enjoyed the humbling experiences of hosting more than 9,000, and have done so with a perfect safety record!   To those who sailed with us in 2015, we were honored to have you join us for our free joyful nautical adventure. And to all of you who have sailed with us in the past 8 years, we welcome you back in 2016. Remember, it is simple to register for an outing in 2016. Go to our website www.SailingAngels.org and push the Registration tab. Registering will take only a few minutes. I recommend that you do it soon, even if you wish to come later in the year.   Before we 'move on' in this newsletter, I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to all our volunteers as well as the charities, corporations and individuals who have supported us through the years. It is due to your commitment and belief in our mission, that we have achieved so much in serving the special needs community. And Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and an outstanding group to work with to make this happen! Wishing you a year of fair winds,    Captain Dave

Nighty Night Sailboat Goes To Cuba

Getting ready for Cuba and presenting "About Being an Author" to Cuban children. I have just published a spanish/english version of Nighty Night Sailboat called Noche Noche Velero. The book targets educating Cuban children english, living on a sailboat, being homeschooled and sailing terminology.

 
The presentation discusses when to write, what to write and how to write. My blog www.nightynightsailboat.blogspot.com and www.sailadybooks.blogspot.com has articles about presenting to Sigsbee Charter School and eight schools in the Bahamas.
Noche Noche Velero available on Amazon and Kindle.

Sharing Thank You Notes from The Bahamas

I've wanted for a long time to share some of the email letters I received from The Bahamas.  They are so inspirational.  I thought everyone would enjoy the words of children.  It just takes time to inspire and leave a lasting memory to young children.  Who was that special person in your life?

Dear Ms. Susan,

                         I personally would like to thank you for such an inspirational and exciting visit to our school. After your talk with us about being author you encouraged me to begin reading books and to increase my vocabulary.

I do wish to see both you and your husband again and please be safe on the water.

Dear Ms. Susan,

                  I was honored to attend your presentation and it was tremendous. It was so exciting to listen to a well known author and, by the way you explained writing poems and stories. One day I will be writing stories and poems of my own. There was one thing I learned, that when you write you can speak from your heart or write what you have noticed or realize in you or in someone else.

             I am inspired by the things you write about. Not only are they interesting but they are true to mankind. The story I am hoping to read someday is “The Last Payload”. That book looks very interesting. The story you read for us called “Nighty Night Sailboat is Key west” was also a magnificent kid’s story and I would love for my sisters to read it.

              I would like to say Thank You for your appearance at St. Andrew’s Anglican School. I hope you will visit us again in the near future. Continue to stay safe on your journey around the world.

                                                                                                                              Yours Sincerely, Taleah

Dear Ms. Susan,

                             I was very delighted to meet an author, a very sophisticated one like you. You have inspired me to write a book but instead of books for kids I’ll write a book about my life. My life has been very adventurous so far and I will like two keep it that way so I would have much more to write about. Hopefully you will visit us here at St. Andrews Anglican School again, I’m sure the kids here would be very delighted to meet you. Your books are very interesting because not only there unique you’re story’s are very realistic and that’s something   that inspires me to write my own true life story.

 

 

                                                                                                                     Yours truly,

Dear, Ms. Susan

         How are you doing? Your presentation last week Friday was very remarkable and also inspiring. The tips you shared with us about writing books and publishing them really impacted me. Personally, I am thinking about writing a book and publishing it with Amazon Space, like you said. I really and truly enjoyed your book and I hope to read your book, “The Last Payload” soon.

Yours truly,

OOPS....Learning to listen to Customer Wants

I have revised "Nighty Night Sailboat Searches for Pirates" and removed the guns and swords.  The world has changed since I was a little girl.  We played Cowboys and Indians, Good Guys and Bad Guys (The good guy always wore a White Hat), but today it is a different world.  You just don't know who the good guys and the bad guys.  If anyone wants the old version I have seven left, so please call me on 281-650-2659 or email on sailady2002@yahoo.com. 

I'm excited this is my sixth volume of the Nighty Night Sailboat Series.  I have so many I want to do.

Let me share a story about one of my little girls who just loves "Nighty Night Sailboat".  She used to want her mother to read different children books, but when she got "Nighty Night Sailboat", she only asks for it.  Each time she sees the moon she points at the moon and says, "Moon".  It thrilled me to hear the story.  I'm glad her mother shared the story.

I want you to know that I will be in Houston on October 4, 2014, Saturday, and will be doing a book-signing.   More information to come about the booksigning.  Looking forward to seeing my friends and family, which most of my friends are my family.  Thanks to everyone who has supported me on this journey.
