Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Soda!
Captain Sue and her Pirate Crew made sure all the young Ghosters were well fed and watered for our Book Club Meeting at Monkey Shines Children's Book Store. Thanks Sue!
We had a boat load of enthusiastic Ghosters who enjoyed over an hour of fun as we delved into the background of the book and the characters in Ghost Messages.
The PPT presentation showed young sailors what life was like on the Great Eastern and how laying a transatlantic cable was anything but easy.
The Morse Code Puzzlers turned out to be a challenge, but an answer key went home with each contestant so that they can figure out the questions while soaking up the sun.
Two lucky participants won an exclusive Ghost Messages T-Shirt sure to bring comments from all they meet.
Bookmarks added a special touch, as no one should have a new book without a new book mark.
Lots of questions and interest from all the crew made for a spirited afternoon.
I look forward to hearing from a whole boatload of new Ghosters as we continue our voyage across the foaming waves!
