Dean,

Good to hear your cruising and enjoying it. Why not go on the hook a few nights, it's nice and quiet?

Peace.

Hi guys,

I got a few emails concerning building a solar dryer and I wanted to pass it on. If you have a backyard or sunny roof top and want to save some money and like dried foods read the following technical paper on dryers. It’s the best info I found. This is not the design I’m going with because of space restrictions, but if I had the room I’d build this:

There are so many communities and families I’ve visited over the previous years that could really use a dryer like this. I’m hoping to build this for others in the future. I want to build a few of these for the Kuna. They’d be drying mango, papaya and coconut by the bushels.

We are off to our friends house today and I’m hoping to get the rings in my little Kubota engine.

Cheers all

bubby, sam here… you must stop sweating the small stuff… i know, easy for me to say, i was not born with the worry gene:) (though alex was and now he’s starting to worry about you worrying..oy!)guinna does not drink much regular milk, she really loves soy milk and we have been buying it in the individual boxes so it does not go off but now we have coming in the mail powdered soymilk which is (according to all the reviews left by those who have tried it) supposed to be the closest to real milk in it’s flavor, nutritionally sound, economically viable and easy to store in a home where space is always at a premium.. as for our weekly bills, well it is amazing when you only buy basics and make from scratch how little you really need to spend(though, admittedly, we do have the occasional ice cream treat and night out on the town) it also is incredibly good for one’s body and soul to avoid the preservatives and hard to pronounce/long named chemical additives found in most prepackaged food today.. speaking of today we went to the local green market and bought some delicious local honey and yummy local veggies for the week.. i love you, and pop too! stop worrying, i come from a long line of strong, resourceful women;)

Be careful of what you state you spend. If you are like every other full time cruiser I know, they all seem to fudge a little on their income taxes. Your blog could become a legal document.
