I hate I missed the chance to meet you as I have followed you for 2 years. I have family in the area and my brother in law is mechanic with diesel certification. Let me know if I can help. -Mojo

peace of mind, if you didnt have the OCD trait, you’d probably still be sitting in your day job 9-5 instead
of an awesome 40 foot sailboat ready to embark on a bluesphere adventure?. Probably will see OCD spa’s popping
up all over the place, its the syndrome of the next generation. The trick is keeping it at bay and not letting it
rule the roost, which i struggle with daily, but try to use as a positive force. Maybe you could open a clinic
on a s. pacific island one day?

The San Blas are amazing for Scuba diving. The Kuna will not allow you to use Scuba gear and spear fish at the same time. You have to snorkel and hunt or just dive. They free dive to 50/60 feet and don’t like you hunting deeper than they can. I’ve been diving for 30 years and the only place I’ve enjoyed more is the Palmerston atoll of the cook islands in the S. Pacific.

I cant wait to start hunting again!!!!

Thanks,

Sebastian

I know, I have so much video to cut and no damn time. I’m trying to put in as many hours as I can and get projects done. I still haven’t wired up the new solar panels I got here. I also need to weld up a mount for the radar dome, and another for the tiller pilot to the wind vane. Not to mention getting non-skid down and paint, and building a sail before we take off. I wish I could just push a button and be in the San Blas where time seems abundant and I could charter.

Cheers, and the cake was gooooood!

Way to go, keep up the good work!!

OCD isn’t such a bad thing. 15 months ago I became obsessed with buying a boat and circumnavigating. I emailed you a couple of times asking a few questions. Now that is all my wife and I plan for in our future. We have our boat picked out and just need to feed the kiddee. Been selling our possesions and counting down the days.
Cheers!
Jeff
