Norbert Schulz

Years ago Norbert Schulz, and a friend, learned to master the art of go-slow, unique to Caye Caulker. A broken mast had stranded these two European yachtsmen on this small island where they jettisoned the snapped fragments, along with their Western bustle. Haste and hurry were soon replaced by a laid-back Caribbean lifestyle…daily chores consisted of lazing in a hammock, discarding shoes and shirts, and a Sundowner at the bar while scripting a few lines in a notebook—lines now typeset between the covers of this book. One day a boat appeared on the horizon and left a mast behind on a beach. But the yachtsmen were in no hurry to depart. It took them days to set the mast then sail away, forever.
