The locals are dumb founded. The weather just wont quit this year! My friend Alex arrived in PC this morning and I’m stuck on the boat for the next 36 hours. I really wanted to be at the airport to meet her but unless I surfed onto the beach it just isn’t happening. I had […]

Happy Holidays
Well its that time of year again, and a good time to make a New Years resolution. Every day is a good day to make a resolution but many seem to like change with a new calendar year. Want to go cruising? Make definite plans, put some money away every month for your boat. I […]
6 more months!
Well, it seems the rainy season has turned! Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. I got all of the sopping wet, moldy, smelly things off of Splendid and went to the French marina to do laundry. A great weight has been lifted now that I can dry out a bit :) It still rains but […]
It’s been rough!
I just got internet back this morning, the phone has been spotty but I managed a few calls and emails on the iphone yesterday. It’s still raining but “they” are saying after Wednesday the season should turn and the bulk of the rain should be behind us. I haven shot a fish in weeks as […]
Rain, mud slides, many dead!

Holy SHIP!
It pays to be in the right place at the right time. It just witnessed this Cal 46 (Perkins, water maker, genset, blah blah blah, GEORGIOUS BOAT) sell for 20k. Not many people get a better deal than I did on Splendid, but this was one of them, what a great cruising boat. It needs […]
GOD STOP THE RAIN!
My GOD has it been raining. The wet season is supposed to be over by the end of January but it did get a late start this year, and the Gods are determined to drench the hell out of me and my soggy boat! It is good weather for staying in and working though. I […]
Lost at sea.
I was about 1000 miles out of the Galapagos when I took this picture. I remember this sunset so vividly because I was so very far away from anything. Just myself, Namaste, and the greatest ocean in the world. I got bad news from my friend Jamie today. He lost a friend (Rex) at sea […]
