To all Storm Carib followers it is with a sad heart that I have to report that late in December 2019 we lost a free spirit, whom you’ve all read her blogging on Storm Carib over the years, Dear Miss Mermaid. It is truly a sad moment to think that she is gone.  She had a colorful life, sailing, living aboard her sailboat SV SeaRose in the Caribbean until a hurricane took her vessel.  After that she picked up the pieces,  Dear Miss Mermaid became a land lubber and started blogging for Storm Carib at it’s conception, writing tall tales, observations of island life, her experiences both living onboard plus on the dirt, and reporting on the weather,  especially stormy weather. She advised us, recommended her own way to celebrate a hurricane with a hurricane party so that fear would not overcome all of those who attended and were taking shelter from the storm.  She lived an adventuresome life in the BVI, passing on much of her knowledge to those who read her writing. Eventually Dear Miss Mermaid left the island that she had called home for so many years traveling back north to the states. Her wanderlust continued upon her purchasing a Rv. She traveled to many south east campgrounds, becoming a park host through many seasons and then settled in Florida with her little rescued dog Harley. They would spend the rest of time together until Dear Miss Mermaid left us for her next heavenly wanderlust adventure. We thank Dear Miss Mermaid for all of her blogging, her wit, the books she wrote, her friendship and the life experiences she shared with us.

 She will forever be missed.

 Cheers Dear Miss Mermaid from all your readers and myself the Mermaid Gardener
