Well I’m off in the morning to work for 3 weeks. I’ll be returning to Splendid and my girls on the 5th of May, ARRRRGGGGG, I’m really going to miss them!
Namaste has been undergoing a paint job at the same time as Splendid. I’m glad she is sitting on the other side of the world sailing in the southern hemisphere. I hear her prop got all tangled up in a fishing net a few days ago. She looks happy and Wojteck seems to be good to her. I really miss that little boat. We had such adventures and good times together.
A new chapter is open in my life and my smile is long. Life is good to me and I feel quite blessed. The 3 weeks ahead of me seem difficult. I’m such a home-body and don’t like leaving my place. It’s a good thing my home can sail otherwise I’d truly go out of my mind. As soon as I get back I’ll be sailing again. I’ll have a few bucks in my pocket (Man I’ve been broke) and I’m planning on getting 300′ of 5/16ths BBB chain and a 80-100lb Manson supreme anchor as soon as I get back. I also have to deal with my diesel tanks, they are dirty. I may need to cut them open and give them a good scrub. I’m also going to build a mobile fuel polishing system so I can help other cruisers out if need be. Dirty fuel can be such an issue and difficult to deal with in remote areas.
I’m bringing my laptop, I hear I can buy WIFI cards on the ship, and will attempt some updates. They may be scarce however I hear I’ll be working 12-15 hours a day.
Peace everyone.
Sail far and live slowly.
