I know I’m probably killing you guys with pictures of my beautiful girls but here is another. Sam and I went out yesterday and bought running shoes. It’s time to start getting in better shape. We walked a few miles to the library the other day and I was pretty whipped. Today we did a little jogging and took a nice walk to a cafe for internet and a smoothie. How do you get a 4 year old to jog? Sounds like a joke but I’m planning to get Guin some runners as well.
We should be off in the morning. A mechanic came out and pulled the exhaust apart. He should have it back on first thing in the morning and Sam and i will start heading South again. I cant wait to get back to splendid and start getting our “ship” together for some cruising.
My buddy Chuck took off for Puerto Rico this morning from Stuart Florida. If you want to see his “SPOT” page, check it out here:
This is Chuck’s first big trip so lets all send him some good vibes!
Peace everyone.
Sail far and live slow.

Love the photos and logs!!!! Did you break your video camera????? hint hint…. cheers from sunny Philippines! Diving is awesome! Rick
girls are good,eye candy actually, but less of the big ugly guy with the stash would be an improvement. happy holidays guys g&m
start slow with running!
I started jogging about 4 months ago (after quitting smoking),
first week out, I over-stressed my knees, had to take a month off to heal :)
now I have shin splints but they are healing.
recovery time is uber-important
up to 2 miles twice a week now (gotta brag!)
jogging is awesome
never too many pics of them girls :)
hi Alex, running will eventually injure you!,i would suggesst, you guys look into KETTLEBELL traing, its perfect for a boat,as its basically, a portable gym,many excercises are possible, and it is excellent cardio. Look at KETTLEBELL TRAINING on YOUTUBE, for examples and others doing this. Be well Mark,,, 1976 Westsail 28 GYPSY
after a long stint without internet, i checked chuck’s spot this morning. i’m excited for him. wish i was not going to be stuck in stuart while he’s out there having fun! making lots of progress on the boat though.
i wonder if it’s nasty out past the hole in the wall. seems like it’s pretty unpleasant in the gulf stream right now. even the anchorage here is pretty uncomfortable right now.
go chuck go!
I should be in Beaufort on the 11/11 and then heading down that week. Also keep and eye on the new TD in the Gulf.
Running if fine and will not injure you! good grief!!
As for running with kids. Bring a ball and play go deep…..
darrin,
Check channel 16, I’m down in the manatee pocket
crap. still in the pocket, or have you moved on?
i’ll be heading back to the boat in an hour. i’ll turn the radio on 16 and 68. i also have a new cell phone. i’ll email you the number or something.
