I’ll be hauling out soon, I’m glad not to be stressing about the hurricanes, one seems to be developing now and the risk is just too high.

Thanks for the offers of help, Im taking some time off the projects for the moment and will start back up in October/November. I have to get home and focus on selling Splendid, its a whole other level of stress having two boats :(

Capt Paul, for sure we need to get together. Do you ever come to this side of Florida? Maybe we can meet in the keys later in the year before I hop off and we can share an anchorage and a few glasses?

BTW, Carla LOVES Eleanor :)

It’s too late in the season. Where will you put up Eleanor? I live in the Fort Myers area (my boat is at Glades until later in the season.) If you’re in the hood and need a place to stay or if you need anything, let me know. All the best…

Bobby

No worries though. You’ll do what you have to do and move on to the next part of the journey.

Yes. The separation is way to long. You do need to get back to Carla, Splendid and Nacho. Congratulations on the connection with your Dad. There’s nothing better. My Dad was a great guy and a good boater and fisherman. Taught me a lot about the sea. So yes, nurture that relationship too.

I lost mine a while back and he wanted to be set to sea, so I flew him to FL and my sister wants to be here when I spread the ashes. So at the moment he’s in a cupboard on Panacea. If she doesn’t get back here soon, I’ve told her that I’ll put him in my next batch of non-skid. He was a boat guy with a great sense of humor. So until then, we toast together now and then.

Well keep me posted on your schedule and maybe we can get our knees under the same table. It’s the rainy season. I noticed more water in my bilge this evening and the bilge pump quit. Tomorrows project. The list is long right now.

Give my best to Carla.

Be safe my friend.

Capt. Paul
s/v Panacea

If you need help with anything, I’m off on weekends about an hour and change south here in lovely Fort Lauderdale, and labor is free.

I am really excited for you that you and your dad are connecting in such a wonderful way. You deserve all the happiness!

Thru all my crapola down the trail, the common denominator was god has a plan. Or I’d be aw awall, wherever that is. My father passed 15 years ago, and if I had ur opportunity, no brainer bro. The boat will float just fine. Love the adventure u have endured , should be proud, press on.

It’s wonderful that you’ve reconnected with your dad. I respect you so much for making this decision. A more selfish person would’ve kept pressing on.

Cheers!

p.s. I should have a couple of weeks off in December if you need crew. ;)

Your reconnection with your father never would have happened if Eleanor hadn’t gone up for bid and you hadn’t decided to bid on her with all the associated “unknowns” of making such a leap.

Call it serendipity, karma, God whatever…if I have learned anything as I’ve aged it is that I am always better off listening to my inner voice and trusting it even when I have no rational reason to do so.

Terrific news Alex. You are a blessed man.

Paul A.
