Well I’m off to Splendid today. I need to clean up and get off the dock before I need to pay more money. I’m going to cross back over the southern tip of Florida (SHALLOW) between Marathon and the Gulf, and back up to Ft. Myers for a few weeks to get my canvas done. Then I’m off ASAP! There is a new fly in the ointment though.
A friend called and asked If I could deliver his boat from Brisbane Australia, to Thailand. I’m talking to Sam about it now. We would have to the end of the year and He’d cover expenses. It’s not a money making thing, but he has a beautiful boat “Contigo” and it really would be a cool trip. The dilemma is I’d have to leave Splendid though. I’m really torn. However I’m leaning towards getting Splendid done and moving on. The idea of just going to the other side of the world and sailing for a few months really appeals to me. We could do the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Micronesia, and Thailand, ARRRRGGGGG! Man that sounds like fun. I’m going to think about it over the next few days. Splendid is ready to sail I just have so many projects…, I want them all to be done. It’s going to take me years to get her where I want her, but when she’s done, WOW!!!
Come on guys, give me some input here. Do I take 3-4 months to deliver a great boat for a friend, or do I go back to busting my ass on Splendid???
The videos and photo gallery on the site may be a bit wonky over the next week. David and I are doing some upgrades.
And remember if you have any Grolsch bottles (flip top style) laying around don’t toss them.
Cheers
