Well I ended up partying pretty hard last light, guess I had to blow off some steam? I went to my favorite micro-brewery and ended up in the casino.
I used to gamble a bit and the worst thing you can do when you gamble is drink. I told myself I’d loose $50 bucks. I was up over $320 and should have walked away, instead I had the “Vegas baby Vegas” drunk mentality going on and shot myself in the foot. I needed to go out and blow off some steam after my last month so I’m not stressing it.
Man doing this job was almost not worth it. I ended up spending $320.00 changing my flight around trying to see a friend, another few hundred on the phone on the ship (2.29/min), another few hundred in cabs, hotels, and every surface in Splendid is covered in boat mold, AHHHH! I hate mold and leaving Splendid locked up! Its going to take me a week to clean all this crap out of here.
We’ll I need to get my ship together. The rainy season has started again and the sea is all blown up and rollin, lots of thunder & lightning.
I’m returning to Florida in a few weeks to help a buddy move his boat from Ft. Pierce to Pensacola. I’m going to look into putting Splendid in the French Marina now that the season has changed.
After that I really need to get serious about boat projects. If I can work as hard as I have over the last month, I can work a quarter as hard here and I’ll get everything done quickly.
Man it was weird being away from Project BlueSphere for so long, its nice to be doing what I like again.
I was thinking to take a few quiet days but I really need to get cleaning.
My first orders of business are to get a new mattress, finish my fuel system, get a new refrigeration system , and seal up some leaks.
I’m going to have to start getting more serious about chartering down here and hang out in Por Vaneer looking to pick up some clients. If I’m going to get my ship together its going to take a few bucks. Man, Namaste was so much easier to take care of!
Speaking of charters, I’m just about to make the drawing so if anyone wants to buy a last minute ticket, now is your chance.
Man its good to be back in my element :)
Peace, Love, & Splendid!
