Yesterday was rough, 103 fever and crazy coughing :(

Today I feel like I can see out of the Forrest.

I’m really excited as our new dickenson stove should arrive at the end of the week :)

Good luck with the charters amigo, it’s good to turn people on to the life :)

Peace

Yep. Still chartering. We have slipped into our rainy season, and so things get a bit screwy on a daily basis and times change, destinations change, cancelations happen. Sunsets are will begin again in October. We get clobbered every day around that time with storms.

Hey! MORE GARLIC! Do “Garlic Shooters” 2 to 3 times a day and then once a day for maintenance.

Here you go:

1 clove of fresh garlic. Chop it up as fine as you can. Put it in a 4 to 6 oz. cup or glass. Pour in water or juice. Just a couple of ounces. If you use water, put in a squeeze of lemon juice.

Swirl it around so that garlic looks like a little tornado in the glass and then shoot it down. Swallow. That’s it.

When you chop that garlic, 2 sulphur compounds mix and create alicin. It’s the ingredient that gives garlic the medicinal benefits. It includes a broad spectrum anti-biotic. It’s anti-fungle. Anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Boosts the immune system and strengthens the heart muscle.

Also look for some “olive Leaf” comes in capsules and it kicks stuff out. But the garlic shooter is not an option. Only if you want to kick that stuff. It’s up to you now.

Stay healthy brother best to Carla.

You have quite the charter boat these days. Are you still chartering in SW Florida and the keys?

I know I’ve been quiet lately but I’m sick as a dog. When it rains here they close all the windows on the chicken bus (zero ventilation) Carla and I spent an hour & a half coming back from Colon a few weeks ago and one of us has been sick ever since. I’m doing a second round with the flu and stuck in bed with a fever and bad coughs. Paridase is a bit gray these days :(

Arrrgggggg!!!!

It’s a pleasure to keep in touch and connect. Panacea is always a challenge. Projects don’t stop, but she is being pretty forgiving lately and we are getting along fine.

The new portlights are great and I’ve got 3 in now. Stopped some leaks. 2 more in my possession. Looking for breaks in the weather to put ’em in. New depth gage installed. Old stern ladder refurbished and installed with new SS backing plates, new AC hoses, new aft locker drain hose arrgghhh had to put in an 8 inch inspection plate to do that one. Varnishing. Getting ready to lay new non-skid. Tested some out for a few months now and now going to a different test. Rigging just got inspected and I’m good for a while. She’s a great vessel and the closer I touch her the more she seems to love me. It’s all energy you know.

So continue doing what you do so well and stay in touch. I’ll do the same. Give my best to Carla.

Bindleseff,
I had the splash guard bent at a shop and had the holes for the sink and refrigeration area cut out, but wish I had done the cutting myself. When the guy did the bend he didn’t measure properly and threw everything off by an 1/8. I had to get a little creative with the refrigerator door cutout and add some nice trim which is turning out to be a plus as it keeps liquid on the counter from entering the refrigerator. The stainless is easy enough to cut with an angle grinder and cutting wheel or a jig saw.
