Bluewater Rendezvous: The Eighth Novel in the Caribbean Mystery and Adventure Series (Bluewater Thrillers Book 8)

"Quite a few people in South America, too," Liz added.
"He's like my older brother," Dani said. "He's the one that I always went to when I was a kid and needed advice and couldn't ask my parents."
"And he thinks this is going to be okay?" Cynthia asked.
"He got a positive reaction from the Chief Superintendent of St. Vincent's police force; they've known one another for a long time. We'll know more once the Chief has had time to do a little checking. We aren't in the clear just yet, though."
"Is Phillip in St. Vincent?" Cynthia asked.
"He lives in Martinique. If we go there, you'll probably meet him. He often invites our guests to dinner at his house," Dani said.
"His wife's a first-rate French chef," Liz added. "She's from one of the old French families in Martinique, like Dani's father, and they like to entertain."
"So is Martinique, like, a French colony or something?"
"It's actually a department of France," Dani said. "Guadeloupe is, too. They're the biggest and the richest islands in the Eastern Caribbean. The people are French citizens; they speak French and vote in the French elections. Their currency is the euro."
"That's really cool," Cynthia said. "I didn't know that. Are we going to head back to Bequia now?"
"Not just yet. Phillip thought we should hang around out here until he heard back from the Chief. If we get the all-clear, it'll only take us a couple of hours to get back. We've been edging back to the east since sunrise, but I want to stay in international waters for now."
"So what do you think will happen? Are they going to arrest the crooked cop? And Wilbur?"
"It's hard to say. Things like this often don't move in a straight line in this part of the world. St. Vincent's a sovereign nation, but it's not any bigger than a small town in the states. Everybody knows everybody else's business; there are lots of family relationships and confusing political alliances," Liz said.
"Who's Wilbur?" Dani asked.
"Oh. He's the taxi driver I bought the weed from."
"I see," Dani said. "Well, I don't know. I'd be surprised if the police didn't want a statement from you, but we'll just have to wait and see. There's a range of possibilities. The whole problem could just disappear like it never happened, or there could be some kind of major scandal. We'll know more in a little bit. Just hope for the best," Dani said.

A Note to the Reader
Thank you for reading Bluewater Rendezvous, the eighth book in the Bluewater Thriller series. I hope that you enjoyed it. If so, please leave a brief review on Amazon. Reviews are of great benefit to independent authors like me; they help me more than you can imagine. They are a primary means to help new readers find my work. A few sentences can help others find the pleasure that I hope you found in this book, as well as keeping my spirits up as I work on the next one.

If you haven't read the other Bluewater Thrillers, please take a look at them. If you enjoyed this book, you'll enjoy them as well. I write another series of sailing thrillers, The Connie Barrera Thrillers. Connie had a key role in Deception in Savannah, my first book. I enjoyed writing about her so much that I wrote her into the Bluewater Thrillers. She plays prominent parts in both Bluewater Ice and Bluewater Betrayal. The Connie Barrera Thrillers are a spin-off from the Bluewater Thrillers, and feature some of the same characters. Dani and Liz taught Connie to sail, and they introduced her to Paul Russo, her first mate and soon-to-be husband.
In September of 2016, I released Sails Job – a Connie Barrera Thrillers, the sixth in the Connie Barrera Thrillers series. Now I've turned my attention back to Dani and Liz in their twelfth Bluewater Thrillers adventure. You'll find progress reports and more information on my web page at www.clrdougherty.com. Be sure to click on the link to my blog posts; it's in the column on the right side of the web page. Dani has begun to blog about what's on her mind, and Liz and Connie are demanding equal time, so you can see what they're up to while I'm writing.

About C.L.R. Dougherty
Charles Dougherty wrote quite a bit of fiction before publishing Deception in Savannah, his first novel. Most of his earlier fiction works took the form of business plans, written to secure funding for projects and startup ventures during his corporate and consulting work, but he put all that behind him when he wrote Deception in Savannah, a tongue-in-cheek crime novel.
Since Deception in Savannah was published, he has written a number of other books. The Bluewater Thrillers are set in the yachting world of the Caribbean and chronicle the adventures of two young women running a luxury charter yacht in a rough-and-tumble environment. The Connie Barrera Thrillers are also set in the Caribbean and feature some of the same characters from a slightly more romantic perspective. Besides the Bluewater Thrillers and the Connie Barrera Thrillers, he wrote The Redemption of Becky Jones, a psycho-thriller, and The Lost Tourist Franchise, a short story about one of the characters from Deception in Savannah.
He has also written two non-fiction books. Life's a Ditch is the story of how he and his wife moved aboard their sailboat, Play Actor, and their adventures along the east coast of the U.S. Dungda de Islan' relates their experiences while cruising the Caribbean.
He resides with his wife aboard Play Actor, sailing wherever their fancy and the trade winds take them..
