Alex, what’s the deal with “spot”. Is it just me?? I can’t get anything like I used to get when you were first in Florida.

The delivery is going well. I had to run into Atlantic city to try and get an Asthma inhaler as mine ran out. I cant believe I was unable to get one, granted it was Sunday. I pleaded with the pharmacies but they wouldn't budge. I cant believe I'm still leaving without one. All in all it cost me $100 to stay at a marina that is a $30 (one way) cab ride to/from anywhere. I haven't even managed to get food or ice, what a waste. Oh well, ship happens right? I did manage a good warm nights sleep and got fuel.

I'm sailing for Manasquan in a few minutes here. I'll drop the hook around sunset, and leave for the final leg of the delivery around 1am. That should put me at sandy hook at lo-tide at around 7am, and I can ride the last 25 miles with the morning tide. I'm hoping to see Sam 2morrow night and head back to Splendid on Thursday or Friday. I'm going to order our new Engel when I get back, I'm excited!

The Spot is cool isn't it?

Cheers.

The only thing worse than working on a weekend is working on a weekend and watching a boat i could have been on come down the bay on spot. Hope I went well today.

Beautiful Sunset Alex, makes ne think of Otis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nA18g_PwG0
Interesting to hear you had back surgery in the past, I had back surgery myself 18 months ago, cant seem to get off the percocet, even with a round of epidurals.Have been really uncertain as to how my body would take the physical requirements of a sailboat, having never owned a boat capable of living aboard, we broke down and bought a 36′ Carver aka “Fossil Fool” to see how life aboard any boat would fare, Im already disappointed I didnt buy a sailboat, was an impulsive decision.
I digress, Yoga for Dummies………sounds like the lesson for me,thanks for the tip.

Peace, love and sunsets, Dean
