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 spent the day putting together a news letter which I’m hoping everyone gets by tonight. If you don’t get a news letter please let me know, my database might be a little wonky.
I’ve posted another video in the store which covers the sleepy littlie town of 
Puerto Lindo where Splendid and I live at the moment. I’m going to get more focused with my videos as I want to cover specific things like cooking aboard, provisioning, fishing and so on. I want to teach all you guys out there how to make your own bread, it’s kind of important to the life-style. As far as how much the videos cost I’m going to charge according to how much work I put into them. I’m not doing this to maximize profit but more to motivate myself. You guys cant let me get too fat. If i start eating in restaurants all the time you’ll have to pull the plug.
I went to my friend Claudio’s boat for lunch yesterday and we ended up polishing a bottle of wine. I put a few drops in the sea for Rex. I spoke to my friend Jamie on Skype. There wasn’t really anything anyone could have done. Jamie was 
below cooking when Rex fell overboard. Rex grabbed the toe line but by the time they got the sail down and the boat turned around he was gone. They are thinking maybe he had a heart attack from the stress as he just disappeared. Not so easy for a captain to deal with loosing crew. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen :(
I sold 3 raffle tickets. I’m pretty psyched as I’m going to go and buy a used Scuba tank for $100. I still need to find a BC but for now the main reason for the tank is to paint splendid once the rain is gone for the season. If you want to build a rig like i am to run a sprayer and pneumatic tools off of a SCUBA tank (tools underwater is cool) check out this website: http://saltypig.com/scuba/
If you guys want to buy a raffle ticket for someone now is a good time before the holidays. Also if your want to get sailing books, cruising guides, or videos check out bluesphere books. Its ridiculous how little money i make off of Amazon, i get like a $10.00 deposit every year or so but the selection and prices are good. I’ve also put together a recommended reading page which is the first one you come to.
Cheers.
Sail far and live slowly
