Okay guys, I woke up before the sun today and just had to talk about the wonderful things happening on S/V Eleanor. I haven’t done much work to Eleanor since we got her. Carla and I have been putting our energy and Love into Splendid”s refit and restoration. I’ve had an idea in my heart […]
Happy New Year
Like so many, as the new year approaches, I find myself reflecting upon time. 2018 marks 15 years of freedom for me, and 28 years of sailing. I left the United States on a little 28′ sailboat (Namaste) in 2003 to sail around the world. And 15 years later, not having sailed around the world, I […]
okay, so I’m writing a blog!
I’m sitting in a magaritaville (Panama city airport) and about to fly to Argentina for three weeks. I’m drinking a few Guinness and decided to write a blog. As most of my know I write from my heart. I don’t give a shit about generating hits, money, or fame from my blogs, and I’ve been […]
The 600
I have finally carved out a bit of time for myself to sit and write. Ahh. It’s been entirely too long, so I apologize to the hopeful reader out there (if there’s still anyone reading my stuff). I have been absurdly busy with work these last few months, doing a ton of sailing, and […]
Bloggers Block
It’s been so long since I’ve been blogging regularly I don’t really know where, or more importantly, how to begin. Every time I sit down to write a blog, the first thing I do is come up with a blog title. The title of my blog shapes my words, gives me inspiration, and helps me […]
Welcome to Jamaica mon !
It’s been so long since I’ve posted a blog, I figure it’s high-time! I’m sitting in the international airport in Kingston Jamaica waiting for Carla to arrive in a few hours. The past months have been a blur of boat projects and sailing. All I can say about Eleanor (Westsail 42) is WOW, what an […]
On the move
Once again I have to leave Carla and Nacho behind. Delivering Eleanor home has been quite an adventure and has taken around 18 months, how time flies? The addition of my father put a wrench in the delivery but has brought so much to Carla and I. How does the saying go? “When you make […]
New features @ Project BlueSphere
Hi everyone, this is a test. It has been my dream for a few years to allow all sailors to have their own free blogs at www.projectbluesphere.com. If you are a member please login and try your first blog. I’ll be adding personal walls, and many new features that will make Project BlueSphere a social […]
The move
I haven’t been blogging much because 100% of my creative energy has been diverted to writing, and making The Minimalist Sailor (The movie). I have a solid first draft of the script (120 pages), and we are planning to go into production in July of this year. As some of you know I’ve been a […]
Happy 2016, moving to Eleanor!
Moving day on a boat is a funny thing. One doesn’t necessarily change their geographic location, just the structure around them. Carla and I are really looking forward to moving onto Eleanor. It’s a home we will have together from the beginning, and a new flow of energy in 2016, so excited! The work in […]
Splendid V2.0
Big haul-out Splendid is at the beauty parlor and getting pampered. Our haul-out is going well. As you know we will be selling Splendid soon and I want her right when we do sell her. I’ve pulled the engine and transmission. The engine runs perfect (compression) but had a few little leeks. She is getting an […]
I’m a slacker!
Since the beginning of Project Bluesphere I’ve never gone this long without writing a blog, arrrgggg!. The reason I’ve turned into such a slacker is that I’m waste-deep in writing “The Minimalist Sailor” script. The main character is a blogger who lives in New York City. After loosing his day-job, he travels to Florida to […]
Buying property in Bocas Del Toro Panama?
Wow, what a nightmare! I have been driving around Panama for the past six weeks looking for a home for my father. I’ve lived in Panama the better part of a decade and know it well. It is a beautiful country that offers many benefits for American, European, and other retirees from around the world. […]
Earthbag house?
Building? The last thing I would have thought when I turned 50 was to build a house. I’m not a big fan of the land, taxes, neighbors, and not being able to move when I want, it’s not really my style. Yet here I am in Bocas Del Toro Panama contemplating how to build a […]
Strange dayzzzz!
This is the longest I’ve ever gone in BlueSphere history without writing a blog, sorry :( I founnd a little time to write this morning as I’m on a ferry crossing from Almirante to Bocas Del Torro Panama (two hours). As most of you know I promised to replant my father on a beach as […]
Times are a chang’n
Man, I just don’t know where to begin. I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a moment to relax or write. As you guys know dad is moving to Panama with Carla, Nacho and I. I found a nice beach rental for him in Panama. In a few weeks he will be sitting on a beach smelling […]
A corporate decision
I wont be sailing to Panama this season. A number of factors have helped me make my decision, most importantly, my father wants to move to Panama. When I told him we could do it in 6 months or so, and he replied “6 months is a long time when your 83”, I made my decision. […]
Charleston SC
For those of you that have been watching our position on the SPOT page you’ll see that we have been hitting the miles hard! Our biggest day on the ICW to date was 92 miles, and every mile was made in daylight. We had some severe weather in Palmico sound. I was just about to pull […]
Monsoons and Mosquitoes
So it’s been raining in Texas… like a lot. This is the wettest spring/early summer that I can recall in my lifetime. Rivers have spilled their banks, bridges have washed out, and major thoroughfares have been underwater. And the mosquitoes are swarming in droves. Some areas have received feet of rain in a single day. […]
What a ride!
I’ve just dropped the hook up at the top of the Delaware bay, just south of the C&D canal which connects the Delaware and Chesapeake bays. I’ve slept less than an hour in the past 36, but I must share my thoughts tonight. I met up with a sailing friend on Monday who pulled into […]
The wind.
I find it hard to believe that many people don’t hear, see, or feel their own calling. If I had a super-power it would be my ability to feel the little magnet in my heart repelling or attracting me, towards or away from, the opportunities in my life. Actually, scratch that. I believe most people […]
Marine Weather
I’m a little low this morning. I’ve carved out a tight schedule for me to get to get home (Panama) before the onset of hurricane season. I feel like a racing dog raring to get out of the gate, and it just wont open, ARRRGGGG! Cruising does have a way of putting you on nature’s […]
The River
The Hudson River is behind us :) Todd and I left Stoney Point Bay Marina with the hi-tide yesterday morning and sailed under the Tappan Zee, George Washington, and Verrazano bridges. We also sailed by New York City, and the Statue Of Liberty. New York City is my birth place and where I grew up. […]
I’ve been assimilated!
If your reading my blog on Facebook, I’m a ghost! I’ve decided that it consumes too much of my time and doesn’t provide me with anything tangible. There are so many things in our lives that rob us of our time. Work, social obligations, boat and house projects, television, where is our time to dream, […]
Time to sail home!
Sorry for not blogging more but I’ve been working on Eleanor from the time my eyes open in the morning, till the time they close at night. In just the past three weeks Todd and I have been able to install a cubic-mini wood burning stove, a Harkin roller furling, a Simrad below deck autopilot, […]
The Cubic mini wood burning stove
Sorry I haven’t been blogging more but my nose has been on the proverbial grindstone. I’ve been battling with a below decks autopilot instillation (Thanks Neil), attending to rigging issues, plumbing, electrical issues, and working, working, working on Eleanor to get her ready for our voyage to Panama. My crew member Todd is a super-great guy […]
To furl or not to furl?
That is the question! Eleanor’s frozen/faulty roller-furling has been the last big piece of the puzzle, I need something safe, cheap, and dependable. If you have ever been stuck in a blow with a sail you cant roll in or out you’ll know what I’m talking about. Eleanor came with a vintage Dynafurl. I called […]
Planning a voyage
For me, planning a voyage is no simple matter, nor one to be taken lightly. Before I crossed the Pacific I studied for years. Charts, weather patterns, cruising guides, satellite photos, and every scrap of information I could get was scrutinized so I could maximize my safety, and the safety of my boat. I use Open […]
2 ounces of gold and a plane ticket.
When I’m not relaxing and enjoying Carla and Nacho these days, my mind wonders to the task of delivering Eleanor from New York to Panama. I only have 2-3 months to make it happen, two ounces of gold (gifts) that I have to sell, and a plane ticket. This is my mission, and I choose to accept […]
Good times!
Woot, back online :) I’m glad Ryan is blogging about boat projects as they are so unimportant to me at the moment. I’ll get back to that in a few weeks when I get back to New York. Having my father (Joe) visit for the last two weeks has been a wonderful experience. For the […]
And so it begins.
The adventures of Lorilee, Part III This post is sort of a “retroactive” blog. Before Alex invited me to PBS, I was writing my story on a legal pad. So here it is: Written on January 22nd, 2015 I don’t think it has quite yet hit me that I actually just bought a yacht – […]

Three important journeys!
Panama has been an important place in my life in so many ways. I arrived the first time by sailboat about a decade ago. I’ve made three important trips to Panama city in my life. The first came after living with the Kuna Indians in the San Blas for a year. After a year of living […]
Craigslist, California, and a Fat-bottomed Boat.
The adventures of Lorilee, Part I These next few posts are sort of a “retroactive” blog. Before Alex invited me to PBS, I was writing my story on a legal pad. So here it is: Written December 21st, 2014, Orange County Airport, California So I made an offer on a boat last night. Lorilee is a […]
my First blog
Hello everyone! Alex has kindly invited me to join Project Bluesphere to share my story and the adventure that lies ahead. I couldn’t be more excited. He has asked to me to start with a bit of an introduction. I enjoy writing, and this is my first time writing for an audience, so forgive my […]
Hanging on the end of a rope.
Either you can grasp on to the end of a rope for your dear life, or you can go climbing. La vida es asi (life is so), and what we make of our situations, make us the men we are. In order to be a successful voyager you must be “that” guy. The guy who […]

Sea dogs
The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England, has posted a wonderful collection of historical photographs showing the range of animals sailors and travelers used to bring to sea. Today we have Nacho aboard Splendid. He really is a great little mutt. He provides entertainment, companionship, security, and will keep any unwanted critters off the boat and […]
The Cubic Mini wood burning stove
I can’t tell you how happy I am. We are the proud new owners of a Cubic Mini wood burning stove. I’ve put a lot of thought into what kind of heat to put on Eleanor. Propane, diesel, kerosene, and finally settled on wood. Wood is free, clean for the environment, safe, and readily available everywhere. […]
Home sweet home!
All is right as rain! I’m sitting on Splendid, swimming in the sea, and listening to the monkeys in the trees from my hammock on the foredeck. Carla did really beautiful fiberglass, painting, fairing, and varnishing work in the aft cabin. If we can make the whole interior look like that Splendid will be one pretty penny! […]
I found my father!
Last September 14th Carla said something strange to me. “I don’t know what it is baby, but something big is going to happen in the states, something related to your family, someone is calling”. Carla and I live in total peace away from the hustle and bustle of western culture and we are very sensitive […]
Cualquier excusa es buena
Since I was very young, all I wanted was happiness for myself and everyone else. When I had to think of birthday wishes or New Year resolutions, I remember always asking “I wish everyone around me is healthy and happy”, sometimes I would ask for the boy I liked to like me too, things like […]
Living on a micro income?
Why would anyone choose to live on a micro income? Living with less is something I strive to do on a daily basis. My desire to live by minimal financial means funnily enough emerged when I was studying to be a stock broker and financial advisor. I took, and passed, my series 7 exam which […]
Off-Shore to Panama?
I have my wife back and we have discovered the CORONARITA!!!!!! Who would have known one wouldn’t need to make a choice between a beer and a margarita with your fajitas? I’ve been having a blast with my family since I’ve left New York. I had a great time with my cousin Steve and family […]
The radio inside your head
[Note: this is a long post. Way longer than usual. Do not attempt to read if you’re not in the mood.] Sometimes I wonder why there are not a lot more of us out here. Although I know many prefer life elsewhere, I’ve also come to learn that lots of people who are unhappy […]
Spiritual navagation
Two of my favorite quotes are: “The best navigators have no idea where they are going until they arrive” And: “All who wander are not lost” As soon as we unshackle our spirit from the idea that we must get up every day, work for the collective, and build wealth, our path unfolds. Like a […]
I’ve won the war!
Eleanor runs like a top. The engine runs cool and powerful. I was surprised to see the diameter of her propellor when I first met Her. She pushes through a 2 knot current with ease and seems to barely notice. I can feel in my bones that Eleanor is happy to be upon the water […]
Ground Control to Major Betty
Alex has been gone for 8 weeks now and it’s the first time I’ve been alone on Splendid for more than one or two nights. It’s me who usually travels. I thought maybe you were curious to know how I’m doing. So here we go. Yesterday afternoon. A sunny day after many rainy ones. Picture […]
Rowing in the snow
Rowing in the snow. It’s after midnight and I’m rowing in snow that is trying to be rain. It really is the worst state of snow as it is undecided, makes you wet, and cold to the bone. Eleanor’s light is behind me and every 30 strokes or so I turn around to check and […]
light on the horizon
November 6th Well Eleanor has an engine once again. Still a bunch of work to do with the installation, but I’m hoping to be under way in about a week. I can’t wait to hear her roar to life for the first time! My friend Darryl (manning the engine) is building a new centek exhaust […]
Splendid Recipe #9: veggie pizzas, with or without dough
Hi there guys, I can’t recall whether that I’ve told you about my food preferences before. Not that it’s of great interest or anything but when I met Alex I was a vegetarian (ovo-lacto vegetarian I think they call it); lately I have started eating fish but only because I don’t have access to much […]
Tao
Tao means way, or path. There is no right or wrong path, there is just the path! And every man has a very unique path to walk. I suppose if I were to choose a religion Taoism would be where my spirituality would connect with philosophy and community. Life is a river and we must […]
My splendid bathtub
It’s been nearly three years since I met Alex and dove into a life in the sea. I’d always been drawn to the ocean, though, since I was a very little girl. There was always a certain magic every summer when we went to the beach that I did not find anywhere else, not in […]
The wind is unhappy.
The wind is unhappy here. My spirituality it is my connection to nature, and I believe I have an ability my to see, listen, and understand it. I also believe the wind is unhappy here on the Hudson River. It’s not unhappy because it blows strong in October, it’s unhappy because nobody listens to it. […]
walking our path
Wow, the last 36 hours have been rough. A violent Nor’easter really just ripped through my world. Three boats went adrift here at the club during this Storm. I experienced 60 knot winds for much of one night, and a hard gale for the rest of the time. I also had some damage to the […]
Old man winter
No pictures, just words.
I couldn’t have started this journey without my brother-in-law Nico. Thank you for all the help brother (not in-law). Nico returned home yesterday, however he left me with a solid plan. This past week I felt like Neo walking through the matrix for the first time being guided by Morphious. Thanks for taking my hand […]
Cloud 9
I’m Back in the USA for the first time in about 7 years. Believe it or not I’m still happy after having strangers ruffle through my personal belongings, pat down my privates, and radiate me with scanners 3 times upon entry. New York is my home, I was born at doctors hospital (Manhattan) on […]
God, family, and love
We bought a new boat, a 1975, WestSail 42 “Rocinante” (Don Quixote’s horse), WAHOOOOOO!!!!!!! I don’t often use the label “God” because it causes so much commotion amongst people. Even though I strongly disagree with organized religion, I am the most spiritual man I know. I refer to God as nature, and God has spoken […]
Splendid is for sale.
But only for the next couple days. I have a very narrow opportunity to get into a slightly bigger and heavier boat in the next few days. Carla and I have been dreaming of Greenland, Alaska, and Patagonia. The truth is I’ve been thinking of steel, and heavier boats and we have a crazy possibility […]
Feminism
Wow! I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last wrote something here. I can’t really explain what happened, I honestly don’t know. I’ve been traveling a lot to see family and friends, we’ve been busy as usual, Splendid is really over the hill now and getting prettier and ready to take off, a […]
Apnea training.
I’ve been spear-fishing for about 20 years, maybe a few more. I can hunt around 40′ deep and hold my breath for about a minute and a half, nothing special. I always manage some food (fish/lobster) unless I’m being lazy and just don’t want to clean smaller fish, the big fish lay deep. However put […]
Health onboard
I’ve never really written about health onboard because I’ve always been quite healthy for the most part. I did have a battle with malaria in Colombia a few years back but aside from the occasional flu, and dealing with my asthma in a moldy environment (rain forest humidity on a boat) life has been pretty […]
Depression
As most of you know, you won’t just read of beautiful beaches, palm trees, and sugar-plum fairies here at my blog. I like writing about real life, and real life voyaging abroad. Losing Robin Williams to suicide has really affected me, and given me strength to write about some things that are difficult for me […]
The hunt is on!
Arrrggg! I have a rat on board. At least I think it’s a rat, some kind of rodent for sure. It must have swam and climbed the anchor chain while I was gone. I’ve set two snap-traps, and a glue trap. It keeps taking the food without triggering the traps, and stole food from the […]
Home
Sorry for the long delay in a blog update. I’m finally home after a 6-week stint trying to deliver a boat to Nicaragua and I have so much to talk about! The past 6 weeks have been tough as the boat I was to deliver had been severely neglected. The rudder post was broken as […]
Philosophy, finance, and freedom.
It was a slow morning today. I woke up a few times in the night to thunder, lightening, and rain hammering Splendid’s decks. I love the squally weather, I always have. In the height of the worst squalls and lightening I stand on the foredeck and let the cold rain sting my bare skin, it […]
Love, Sailing, and Freedom!
Carla went to the States this morning for a few days to see here niece’s first birthday party. She is bringing back a ton of bits for the boat, and hopefully a treat or two : ) We have a charter in a few weeks then we’re immediately off to Linton where I will leave […]
New and old friends.
Carla and I are really enjoying the charter boat life. My old friend David and his wife Cindy came for a week visit and we picked up the wayward Charlie and his daughter Monica. We all had a wonderful time swimming, eating (lots of lobster), snorkeling, exploring islands, and and drinking wine ;) David is […]
Young-people
I just love this photo I grabbed during the first rain of the season. I never thought I’d ever conjugate a sentence using the words “young-people”, but hell, I’ll be 49 in July. My last charter, Jared, is only 20 years old. He is really a great kid. All he really wants to do is […]
Guerrilla pack & family fun!
Carla’s sister (Juli), husband (Juano), 4 year old (Ramiro), 2 year old (Celeste), and 3 month old (Sol) left this morning. They live in the mountains of Patagonia and have never experienced something like San Blas. I must say, I think the 11-day holiday on Splendid was a success! I don’t know if you remember […]
SSB counterpoise ( ground plane)
Well I got my new Icom IC-M802 SSB radio and I must say I’m more than excited! I’m looking forward to simplifying my life of paying for wi-fi, mobile data, cell phones, pre-paid phone cards, 12v DC chargers, and AC (whatever country I’m in) chargers, stressing that there is no coverage in a given anchorage, […]
The marine SSB
I’ve had such a big response to my “Minimalist marine electronics” series of blogs I feel I need to expand. I will be compiling all of the “Minimalist marine electronics” blogs into a video, and incorporating with another series of blogs and video I’m working on, “The marine SSB”. I’m forging the two together because […]
Minimalist Marine Navigation part II.
My ships clock was on the blink and needed attention. I met a great sailor who specializes in repairing ship’s clocks and wanted to share his information as he is just opening a shop. I have an old Chelsea and really miss hearing the ships bells. There is just something about a proper clock playing […]
Marine Electronics
Go minimal! I’ve been writing this blog for over a decade now, and many of you know I research, research, research before I buy or build anything. I travel the world with far less financial means (less than 8k a year) than 95% of the sailors I know. And when I do buy something for […]
Cave man.
It’s 4:30 and I’m wide awake. It’s normal for me to be up so early, as this is my day-dream time. My days have a definitive pattern. I wake up quite early. My day-dreams run wild like a broken tap in the early hours of the morning and are usually connected to my night-dreams. I […]
San Blas sailing fun.
TEAM SPLENDID: Bart, Danja, Thomas, and Sabine. Thanks for an AWSOME time! We had a beautiful week providing a 5 day kite-boarding charter which we landed through, and shared with Nirvana charters. We had a lovely crew from Belgium, Switzerland, and Holland. Two couples on Splendid and six guys on Nirvana’s boat. Carla and […]
Come to paradise!
So Carla and I have returned to the San Blas after being away for 10 months. We have only been here a few days and the decompressing magic of the islands is saturating deep into my soul. The last 3 days have been filled with the silence of the Caribbean sea crashing against the reef […]
Leaving for the San Blas :)
Carla and I have been working like dogs! A few weeks ago I opened the cockpit floor to install a generator and found that I really didn’t like how the cockpit floor was constructed. Somebody during the life of Splendid moved the binnacle forward 18 inches which was the right thing to do, but they […]
Chartering again.
Well, we got an opportunity to do a 5 day, 2-couple charter in a few weeks. Which means we are off to the San Blas next week. Carla’s sister, husband, and 3 kids are also coming to visit us from Patagonia in March. I’m really excited about them coming as they have never experienced something […]
Rolling & tipping goodness
All I can say is WOW, I feel like I’m floating on happiness! Splendid’s refit is at the point of making her pretty. Carla and I have been discussing various painting configurations for hours on end and we FINALLY found the right way to paint, not to mention the right paint itself (Sikkens two-part polyurethane). […]
Dream BIG
Things are changing very rapidly. Splendid is finally getting ready. A new website with a new concept is about to be launched. Alex and I are married for the first time. Life seems to have suddenly taken some cool speed; it’s as if an amazing gust of wind had lifted us and is pushing us […]
Another new years blog
Once again I find myself facing a new year and my own reflections. This is the time of year I keep myself in check to make sure I don’t slip from my objectives and loose sight of my path. How was my 2013 I ask myself? Well, quite honestly it was F’n amazing. I spent […]
interlux 333 Alternative
Carla and I have been burning the midnight oil, and from both ends. The Pacific is in our thoughts and dreams daily! Carla wants to go surfing. We accepted a small loan to get Splendid into real shape for chartering. Her hull looks like crap and it’s time to change that. I have some good […]
Love
Since I unplugged in 2003 I’ve learned so much of the world. The heavy fog of judgment & ego has slowly given way to peace & understanding. The deafening voice of the system has quieted over the years and I was finally able to find what I was looking for! The pursuit of Love […]
The cabin
In 1962 Tony Bennett sang “I left my heart in San Francisco” for the first time. Today…, if I was able, I would sing that I left a piece of my heart in a small cabin in the mountains of Patagonia. As most of you know I am somewhat of an anarchist. I believe I […]
WAHOOOOO!
I don’t know where to start. I LOVE Argentina, not to mention Carla tambien! The first thing Carla and I had to do as soon as we got to Buenos Aires is to go to a government office and apply for our wedding. As soon as pen touched paper we realized this thing is really […]
The last 27
Well guys I’m on a plane for Argentina in a few hours and I’m having major separation anxiety (Splendid). I love to travel but I’m a home-body at the same time. Kind of like a wondering turtle with his house on his back. As you know the sea has been calling me hard for years, […]
I’m back : )
Hey guys, I’ve been wanting to write something for so many weeks… but you know what happened? A JOB happened. Once you unplug, “work” sucks hahaa it really does though. Since the day I met Alex almost two years ago now, I kept a record of what we did every single day on pieces of […]
Transformations
This picture was taken by my friend Nick the day I left Mystic, CT. (2003) for the world. I refer to it as the “Day number one” picture. When I think back to who I was then, a decade ago, to who I am now, time stops as I could ponder the differences for an […]
Argentina
So Carla and I are busting-ass getting out of the Bambu house, finishing the Dinghy, and preparing for our trip & marriage. As most of you know, I don’t like moorings & docks. Well I’m a big fat hypocrite because I’ve just put down a mooring. I hired a few local guys to fill 4, […]
Under the gun.
I’m going to Argentina at the end of the month and I’m freakin’ as to all the work I have to do. The dinghy project is at the top of the list. Rebuilding the Dyer midget, as usual, was/is more work than I had expected. Carla and I are sooooo excited to have her finished […]
Family fun
Well its been big family fun around here lately. Carla’s brother, wife, and 3 month old daughter came for a few weeks and her mom is here for a few more days. Carla is really close to her family and I’m gaining so much from this relationship, really AWSOME people. I’m so excited to go […]
.62 cents & the Dyer midget
Life has never been better. I proudly have .62 cents in my bank account. I’m waiting on some cash from running the house and some insurance money for saving that boat from sinking a few months back. But at the moment I have .62 cents in the bank and $38 bucks in my pocket. Guess […]
Can’t sleep
It’s 4:30am and as usual my brain tugs at my sleep, my thoughts a thorn in the night. I’m getting married in a few months. For the first time I’m in a relationship that works. We both have the same dreams & life philosophy. We are both travelers, independent thinkers, students & teachers. We know […]
The speed of light!
The “light at the end of the tunnel” is blinding me! As you guys know in 2007, on the island of Tahiti, I made a decision to trade “Namaste” for a larger boat that I could grow old and retire on. My plan was to buy a fixer-upper, and take 2-3 years off of sailing […]
Welcome to the jungle!
Adventure is where you find it. Although I’ve been spending more time off the boat in the last month than I ever have I’ve been buying boat stuff, supplies, and still finding some time for fun. Carla and I took a jungle tour with our friend heather the other day. I find the jungle covered […]
