My main website hosted by Dreamhost got hacked recently, so I’ve rebuilt this new site on a different server. Some of my original articles got buried in the transfer, though, and this post simply makes it easier for people to find my earlier stories.
Here’s a short selection from the hundreds of shipping articles I’ve written while covering the waters of California, Oregon, Washington State, B.C. and Alaska:
* Kyle Washington: The Prince of Tides
* Escape from the 91st Floor (9/11)
* Armada Rescues Trapped New Yorkers (9/11)
* B.C. longshore casuals take a beating
* Fight over Arctic shipping routes
* Stranded for nine months in Vancouver Harbor
* Sailing To Shanghai: How I crossed the Pacific on a containership
* What the Truckers’ Fight Is All About
* Summaries of my articles on the U.S. National Transportation Library website
COLUMN WRITING
* Double Trouble: Exxon Mobil slow to build double hulls
* Death by Lifeboat: Safety drills may cost your life
* The Oil Detectives: What’s killing California birds?
MY SHIPPING BACKGROUND
I edited two maritime magazines (in Canada and the U.S.) and wrote a regular column on maritime safety for three years. My articles have appeared in The Globe and Mail, BCBusiness magazine, Marine Digest, The Journal of Commerce, Maritime Magazine, Shipping & Trade News, Containerisation International, among others.
Wondered where you were and how you’re doing. Sorry to hear the cause of the silence, but happy you’re back.
I’m now a Gramma to an eight week old g-daughter, Ariana. Sold my first simple video yesterday. And, today did my first real photo shoot for money!!!
Still writing ++travel articles.
Hi Julie
Greetings from Hanoi. Congratulations on baby Ariana!
Yes, my website was on wordpress.org, but hackers got into lots of Dreamhost server accounts, including mine, so I had all sorts of strange traffic coming to my website. Have now moved back to wordpress.com, which is simpler and have fortunately lost all the unauthorised traffic.
Just got home after teaching business writing this morning. Major downpours at this time of year, so everybody is caped up to the hilt on their motorbikes and scooters, including me!
Cheers
Ali
