I did a hard days work in the blaring sun yesterday, I’m getting quite dark.
I finished cleaning the water line which took a few hours. When I was about half done Aki and
I also scrubbed the bathroom and disassembled the radar mount. When I was working on the radar mount I noticed that the pin which holds the tiller to the rudder was wearing into the rudder. 2 large washers were rusted away, I replaced them. Then I did a quick inspection of the rig. One of my turnbuckles is cracked quite badly. There are 2 turnbuckles under the bumpkin which are often under water. I can’t go anywhere until they are replaced. I believe if I had been at sea another week I may have lost the rig. It’s a quick fix (10 mins), however I need the newhardware. With my new found wealth I’m going to place an order for new rigging for the bumpkin (about $500). I will have my next guest bring it, or have it shipped ASAP!
After the day was done I went to
Today is laundry day again. It takes a lot of effort to do laundry by hand. A load may take me a few hours and is quite a workout. But what the hell, I have time, and I do it in a beautiful environment.
My friend Machiko arrives tomorrow. I will start hitch hiking for the airport around noon; she arrives just after 16:00.
The subscriptions are still coming in and I now have an income of $275 a month, I’m so happy and relieved I can’t see strait, I will dance the hula!!! I’m surprised that $150.00 of that is due to 3 $50/mo subscriptions. At this rate I may just reach my goal of $500 a month, only $225.00 more to go. This is a result of 5 years of work on the website. Many may laugh at how happy I am with so little money, but this is the sweetest money I’ve ever made. It is a result of a labor of love. I think when one makes money doing what they want it is far sweeter then doing a job they hate, good energy too.
Until tomorrow.
Peace from
Alex
