Nighty Night Sailboat – 4.5 out of 5 stars

This is a cute book for children. The drawings are really cute, and the story also starts teaching children boat terms. A nice bedtime storybook.

'Nighty night sailboat' is an adorable book that helps children learn sea creatures through the illustrations. A perfect present for my grand-niece and nephews!

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.

Santa finds Nighty Night Sailboat

It's Christmas time again.  Santa finds Nighty Night Sailboat tells about little Juni living on a sailboat and worrying if Santa will find her.  She goes from boat to boat asking children in the Marina if Santa will find them.  Did they come last year?   The children are from different countries who tell her about their customs. 

This is an educational and fun way for children from 9 and under  to learn about sailing.  It is an excellent gift.  It is on Amazon and Kindle for your purchase.  Order now and  your children will enjoy reading this book before Christmas or on Christmas Eve.

Also I have written my seventh Nighty Night Sailboat book called Sailing Angels Crew for Nighty Night Sailboat.  It is about the Sailing Angels Foundation, a non-profit organization, in Galveston Bay.  Captain Dave McCabe provide sailing to Veterans, Wounded Warriors, and special needs children and adults.  This service provide aqua therapy and enjoyment out of Portofino Marina and into the Galveston Bay.  

I am in the process of writing another book about Shake-A-Leg foundation out of Miami, Florida.  Captain Harry Horgan is the head of the organization. 

Both provide excellent services on the water.

Please do a book review on Amazon.  Thank you so much.  Renne' Siewers

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.

Being an Author Presentations

Being an Author Presentation at Bimini, The Bahamas

“I Have a Dream”:  Martin Luther King wrote this speech approximately one year before visiting Bimini.  I presented to the Louise Mc Donald High School.  I was in good company, if not alive but in spirit.  I had written a poem called "Follow Your Dreams", before I even knew I would be presenting to the same school as did Martin Luther King.

The first time I landed on the shores of Bimini, I felt at home.  It is a quaint little island with friendly people.  The homes are modest and the people welcome you into the Bahamas with their smiles, hospitality, and easygoing manner.

 I wanted to give back to the Bahamas.  Jon and I got on our bicycles and headed to the nearest school, which was the Louise McDonald High School.  A young student said to her group, but within our earshot, “Look at those white people, as if they have some children here”.    I turned and smiled, “No, but I am an author and I want to present, “Being an Author” to your school. 

 I met with the principal, Stephen Sands on March 20, 2013, and we discussed presenting “Being an Author”.   He was a polite nice-looking, tall man, who ruled with an actual stick, which was very similar to my childhood experiences.    I knew when he said jump, the children did.  He scheduled my presentation for March 21, 2013 at 2 PM. 

Of course, I did not sleep that night.  I was nervous about expectations from my new audience. We had already been, momentarily exposed to the words of the young student on the playground.   Jon and I arrived at the school early to set up the electronics.  The children began arriving bringing their chairs and also Mr. Sands with his big stick.  

As has happened in the past, some children were interested and some were not, however, the reception was warm and friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to these young people.  The joy of presenting to the children comes from within, since you never know, which child will be touched, and in what manner.  I asked for participation and the children began volunteering to read “Follow Your Dreams”.  I requested that Jon read, “Large Foreheads” as he enjoys it so much.  The children went crazy with his dramatic sales and theatric experience.

Large Foreheads

Have you ever seen a Rocket Scientist?

Strange words flow from this linguist

Using the square root and major modes

To determine the navigational loads

What is the common delineation?

Large Foreheads used for contemplation

Wide Space between hairline and brow

Explain their smart mind somehow

But yet one must remember gorillas have large foreheads too

Could this be the missing link? Could it be true?

Yes, it must be what one would logically suspect

So I will continue to research and inspect

Large Foreheads (Onboard Software Space Shuttle Program written during a Requirements Meeting)

At the conclusion of my presentation, I was surprised when Mr. Sands and a young gentleman came to the front of the classroom and “Thanked us for sharing our time with the children".
  It is such a small effort on our part to share “Being an Author” presentation.  Jon and I  truly enjoyed doing it more than I can express in words.  It is giving back to The Bahamas.

Bimini Primary School

Afterwards, a young lady came up to me and said, “I want to be an author, just like you.  Thank you for you being here”.   Then she hugged me.  Her words moved me deeply.  I had touched that one children.

Follow Your Dreams

I had an incredible experience presenting to Sigsbee Charter School in Key West.  I presented to four groups: First Grade, 2nd and 3rd Grade, 4th and 5th Grade and Middle School  to 550 children.  The children were wonderful and such a joy.  One hundred children wrote me wonderful Thank You notes that warmed my heart.   It took me back to a time long ago when I was a child.  They interpreted 2 poems, "Large Foreheads" and "River of Dreams".  Each had a special meaning to them.   I wanted to write them Thank You notes but that would take me too much time so I wrote a poem about, "Follow Your Dreams".    I would like to share this poems with my friend and some of the pictures taken during the presentation.  Share this with all your children, grandchildren and ones you love.

Follow Your Dreams

Find a path in which to follow

Taking you toward tomorrow

It may be crooked or may be straight

But, have a dream that you relate

With that vision, you will set the path

Staying away from all tempting wrath

Find a path in which to follow

Make selections high not below

Life is making your plans around

It is exciting college bound

Select your friends along the way

Choosing wisely ones not astray

Find a path in which to follow

Have a vision the way to go

Teachers, parents, or your friends

Will guide you until the end

Playing, learning and working each day

Handpick your roads black, white, or some gray

Find a path in which to follow

Your choice a leader, a hero

To follow your dreams
