Last night the three of us made the plans to sail the BVI again. Our last trip was when my wife was 5 months pregant. The trip was breath taking, it was my first time sailing. We chose our son’s name at “Foxy’s” Sawyer Wyatt Guffey, well he truns 4 on Nov. 1 2010 and hopefully will be with us on our next trip. We’ll see. But your last few blogs have shown me just how much I had stopped living. So as to you, I’ll be redirecting my life to the side of life that speaks to us all, the inner most part of who we really are. I’ve rewatched your DVD’s and began rereading your blogs from day one, Alex, not many of us have the will power to listen, and change when we need to, but my freind, Please continue the life long dream that you once spoken of, crossing the big blue, yep if all the followers of Project Bluesphere only gave you $5 bucks, then you home, you baby, your dream would be waiting for you instead of waiting for a buck. So I challeage everyone that really believe’s in Alex, to donate 5 bucks to the web site this week. Hell thats less than one lunch. Folk’s if we believe in this man so much, then it’s our time to step up and help. It’s time to “Pass it on”. Thank you Alex for redirecting so many lives, showning us that with a dream, comes a taste of life that no amount of money can buy. PEACE.
It’s time for Alex to sail, and it’s our time to help. Donate $5.00 dollars today……..If you really believe in him…Lets show Alex today….Thank you for your time….

Mitch, by no means am I not openoing my home to both sexs. If a couple really wants to know about "real"cruising, i'd be up for it. At the moment however I feel like and incredable failure at "the cruising family" and just dont know that I have any good advice, I buggered things up pretty well in my own life, maybe in some time. I've done 10-15 charters. Oly once was it a couple, my last one and it went well. I also did a charter once for two women who came down to visit in the San Blas. I dopnt want to get into couples "vacations" and need to reexamine all this. Most of all I want to give the guys who cant afford a charter and live on their dock, or anchored in the same spot the motivation to move on, face the "fear" of the sea, and lead a free lifestyle.

On another note I did a funny thing yesterday, I knocked myself out. I was wresteling with a holding tank, pulling on a hose with a rusty hose clamp. It gave way and my head flew back and smacked aginst a corner. I think I was only out for a few seconds, but maybe worth a good laugh.

Today I had to go to shore to do a small stainless welding job on my spear gun and the owner of the little yacht club here said he can send a bunch of people my way for welding jobs, kind of cool.

Capt Paul really, thanks a million, it will be nice to post video again. I saw in an ad here they have a little digital camera for $99 bucks and I'm going to get it so I can start getting pictures up again.

Peace

I have followed for adventures since the beginning. I haven't been at your web sit for a while until this morning. Since you sold your other boat I noticed a change in you. Then you met the girls, still following your path I worried I had a hard time seeing how it was going to work. Then this morning I started reading at 58 years old yes I had tears why because I have been there.
I kept reading and coud see the old Alex comming back the old Alex on a new path or perhaps continuing the path you set out to go.
You have a huge effect on people. Because of you I and my wife are closer than we have ever been in our 16 years of marrage. My wife being an avid sailer in her youth an I have allways love the sea but never owened a boat. You inspired me to by a 27' my wife loved the idea I put a heck of a lot of work into her to get her sea worthy but it was worth it now on the weekends we sail and love it. We may never be able to go crusing still have two kids in school close to collage and heavly in dedt but we are sailing and meeting people from all over the world at the marina, day sailers weekenders and cruisers.

Some day I hope you get up here to Salem, Ma. I want to shake your hand.
Keep doing what your doing.
Tim

We completed our eastbound navigation of the Erie Canal yesterday, 913miles from "home". The tears of joy just poured out of me, as they are now reading your blog. Bring on the Hudson and the ICW baby !!

You teach people more than you could ever know Alex. As I have said many times, THANK YOU.

A big fan of yours, Dean Bachelor
