Well, friends, it’s been a long time since I posted anything here. I don’t even know if this will get through to anyone, but in case it does I wanted to let you know that my book about the trip has finally been published on Amazon. It’s called Crashing the World, available on Amazon as either a real book or ebook. Check it out, and be happy and safe!

Thanks for this heads-up, Ruffin. Your book has been ordered and Iâm looking forward to reading it.
All the best to you.
Jack
How fun. We’ll be checking it out! Hope you are staying safe. Relive our Croatian sailing trip often and always smile! Fun to be part of that. Cindy & Denny

Thanks Ruffin! Congratulations on your book. I will order it as long as you will sign it! Stay safe, Frank
Frank, I’d be honored to sign it! Be well, stay safe, love life!
Hi Ruffin! So great to hear from you!! We are delighted that you have finished your book and have ordered our very own copy. One day you can autograph it for us! FYI I ordered ours from our independent bookstore, because I hate Amazon. Another option for people is to order from Bookshop.org , which supports independent bookstores. Can’t wait to receive it! Hope you keeping well. Fondly, Nancy and Rick

Hey Ruffin, Hope you are well. Congratulations on the book — just ordered it and am looking forward to reading it. Since I know you are a musical guy, I thought I would let you know that our band, The CON Men, is playing an outdoor concert on the Friday evening after Thanksgiving. Playing near the north entrance of Marsh Landing. If you have any interest, shoot me a text at 904-910-4500 or email me and I will give you the details. Len
Thanks for my signed copy of your long waited book; congratulations. I feel so special. I’m looking forward to reading it as soon as my life calms down.
First let me apologize for taking so long in responding to the signed copy of your great book Crashing the World. I felt so special. It took me a while to start reading it because my brain just wasn’t functioning correctly after my husband passed away and it’s still kind sad around here. I thought maybe 2021 would be better but not to be as I started having more back issues. I am scheduled for my third back surgery tomorrow morning it’ll be another fusion so I am going on the premise that the third time is the charm. Now to get back to your book; what did I think about it – I loved, loved, loved it. What talent you have as a writer I was certainly impressed but not totally surprised. In reading the book I felt like I was part of your adventure and boy did I learn a lot. Thanks again for thinking about me Bonnie (from the gym)

Bonnie from the gym! So great to hear from you, and I am so sorry about all you have been through and are going through. I’ll bethinking of you tomorrow, hoping all goes well with your procedure. Gotta get you back up and running! And I’m so glad you liked the book, you were definitely one of the people who inspired me to finally finish it. To know that you enjoyed it is a great payoff for all the work. So hang tough tomorrow, have a speedy recovery, and I hope to see you soon!
All the best … Ruffin
