Project BlueSphere

Man, I can’t tell you how happy I am. I’ve really been stressing the windlass thing. I finally found the one I wanted at the right price ($350.00). The seller also had 265′ of 5/16 BBB chain to go with it for an additional $300. This is exactly the package I wanted, yeeeehaaaaa! I can’t […]

It’s true what they say about kids, “They make you grow up”,can you tell from the photo? It’s been cold! The weather should start to get nice again Sunday and early next week. I watched a ‘kind of bad”, indi-film, “the stone cutter” last night. It was shot in the South Pacific and I spent […]

How can Florida get sooooo frigg’n cold? It’s supposed to be in the mid, to high 30’s tomorrow night. I’m so lucky that splendid came with a heater. I won’t be working on the boat for the next few days due to weather. We are going to drink hot chocolate, bake, and have movie marathons. […]

Can you believe I’m in a tie? First time in 7 years. I was a guest speaker at the commodore’s breakfast at the Royal Palm Yacht Club believe it or not. It went pretty well and I actually got some laughs out of the crowd.  Sam and I went to Good will yesterday and I […]

Yahoo!!! I finally have a clean white surface on Splendid. Check out the new video. I think the work will start going a lot faster now. 95% of this job is all prep work. Splendid will be nice and shiny before she leaves Florida for points South. I missed a windlass I really wanted on […]

I broke out my new sea breathe hooka system and dove on the boat with Darrin yesterday. It is such an awesome tool. It provides two regulators, and an unlimited about of air to work on the bottom. I have so much more boat under the water I won’t be able to go down and […]

Okay guys, I have to come clean! I’m freaking out! I think part of BlueSphere’s success has been due to me being honest with my words. Well, I’ve really screwed that up in the last 8 months, haven’t I? As you know I’ve fallen hard for my beautiful Samantha and Guinevere. The 3 of us […]

Funny thing happened this year. Santa visited “Splendid”! Christmas morning on Splendid was fun. Guin found a tree and a ton of gifts in the cockpit. After our morning we went to Samantha’s parent’s house for festivities. Guin got buried in Toys. Good thing a lot of them stay with the grandparents, especially the electronic […]

Hi guys, I just posted another video. This is really fun. Some people sent emails really concerned about Splendid from the last video. It’s really no big deal, just another weeks worth of work. All I need to do is chip all this crap off! Remember Splendid’s rig has nearly zero hours on it. New […]

Well I had to endure one of the worst days a sailor can endure. I had to replace the head in the main bathroom. I spent the day wrestling with poopie pluming, broken valves and sharp hose clamps, ARRRRRGGGGG! I took out the expensive Groko head (I never liked it) and put in a cheap […]

Welcome everyone. Here it is, the new projectbluesphere.com website. If you have any suggestions please don’t hesitate to contact me and let me know. I also want to thank David Wilson from www.summerworks.us for doing an amazing job. If you’re looking for any kind of software or web development this is your guy. I’ll be […]

Sam and I drove down to see my friend in the Keys over the weekend. She wants to sell her boat now! and will take 20k for her 37’ Tayana. If you have been holding off and looking to steal a good cruising boat, now might be the time to make a move. It does […]

Well I got a new (used) anchor today. I put an ad in craig’s list and a guy called me yesterday. He picked up an anchor off of Sanibel Island with his anchor and thought it was what I wanted. He wanted $150 for it. I drove out to look at it, and its a […]

I heard the strangest thing last night. I was laying in bed and herd very strange and beautiful music. It sounded like guitar harmonics mixed with a violin. The wind was flowing over the mizzen backstays causing this beautiful sound. The music Splendid and the wind were playing last night had an Enya / Celtic […]

I drug anchor and Splendid kissed another boat last night. The wind kicked up to gale strength for a while last night as a cold front passed over head and Splendid decided to go on walk about. We drug about 100 yards and Splendid’s stern kissed the anchor roller of “Reckless Abandoned”. I have a […]

Cruising is in sight again. I left Tokyo last January, and I’m going to leave Fort Myers this January. I think one year is a good amount of time to put a boat together for cruising. I’m really hoping Sam and Guin come with me. Sam really wants to come and Guin is really loving […]

It’s soooo easy to get caught up in society and relying on things that I don’t really need. Why did I stay in the slip so long?I don’t know if you remember but I was really bumming going to the marina. I left on the 4th and I’m back on the hook again, it’s so […]

The aft cabin is almost done. I’d been wanting to refinish the mater state room but it is a dusty affair. Sam and Guin went to visit family in New Jersey, and this last week has been a mad sanding & painting fest. It looks really good though. I took of all the teak trim. […]

I woke up to 56 degrees today, burrrrr. I’ve been crazy working the last weeks. The aft cabin is stripped clean and ready for paint, as is the aft deck. I’m putting in a few new cleats today and starting to put down some paint in the cabin. I found a hairline crack under one […]

I’ve really been driving myself crazy on trying to figure out the paint thing. There are so many products and options, most of them expensive. I know I’m going to use Interlux perfection on the hull. It’s a 2-part polyurethane, but close to $300.00 a gallon. Interlux also makes a 1-part polyurethane that is a […]

I can’t wait to shoot my next film!!! It was a hard transition for me going from shooting film professionally in Hollywood to shooting for my self on small video cameras. I was never able to get the image quality I wanted up until now. With film…, it’s all about the glass. If you’re a […]

It’s funny having so many people watching my life and ask questions. Many of the questions of late have been about Sam and Guin. “Are you going cruising with them” is what I hear just about every day. The answer is yes. There are a few hurdles to over come at the moment. One of […]

When you work on a project for 3 years you kind of loose perspective, you get too close to it. The positive comments on “Finding freedom” are overwhelming. Everyone is saying its better then the first. I feel so good to have this film off of my plate. I’m already shooting the next one!!! Don’t […]

Man, I love my boat! The work is coming along well. I found another 40’ Cheoy Lee Midshipman for sale. This one doesn’t have a modern aluminum rig like splendid though. http://tinyurl.com/4vv599 She will look sooooooo good when I’m done with the decks, and house. I got an email from my friends Chris & Maggie […]

Guess what? All the domestic DVDs #2 (Finding freedom) pre sales got shipped today. Keep an eye on your post box! The international ones will ship tomorrow, WOOT! If you want to watch the preview check it out here: /portals/0/videos/DVD2previewbig.wmv If you have been waiting for them to start shipping and want to buy one […]

Well I’m getting ready to lay down some paint. So much work is prep. It will be really rewarding to see some clean painted surfaces on Splendid. The gray in the picture below is primer. I’m painting the doghouse sides with Interlux Brightside “Grand banks beige” and painting the trim with teak colored polyurethane. The […]

I know my logs have been lacking lately, but it’s for the grater good. The new DVD (Finding Freedom) is finally in the mail to me (1000 copies). You can expect to see them in your mail box in the next few weeks. The company I was dealing with was the pits! The problem was […]

Well I have Splendid’s 110v, and engine driven refrigeration systems working. Don’t ask me how much, I’m crazy about it right now. I was hoping to spend about $500.00, but the bill was over $1500.00, ARRGGG! It’s an important system to have and it’s done. Now I need to go and find a job. I […]

Thanks for small favors, Ike is missing us! Splendid is becoming a home. I’ve spent a few days organizing and pulling her together. Sam has brought a few nice things which make a world of difference. My Cousin is auctioning off his house, you can buy a ticket for $100, check it out at HTTP://AnySoldierHouseRaffle.com  […]

Wow…, sorry for disappearing. Sam had a family emergency and we took off to New Jersey with Guin (her 3 year old). There were no computers around and I’ve been unable to update the site. We drove 23 hours to get to New Jersey from Fort Myers. I met Sam’s parents and also got a […]

Where o where is Alex Dorsey??? My Girl Friend had a family emergency and we had to take off to New Jersey. I haven’t been around a computer. I’ll be back on Splendid on Friday. I’m really looking foreword to getting back to the boat. Peace, Love, and Coconuts. Alex

Well it looks like Gustav is going to miss Ft. Myers, but Hanna might be a good bet? I really cant wait till the end of September. It feels like these storms are baring down from all directions.

Wow did it rain yesterday; I should have been filling my tanks with rain water as opposed to city water. All is good. I’m doing a lot of epoxy work and trying to get splendid water tight. I’m working on the next video to upload. The flip camera has been awesome!! Hay, you know I’m […]

You have to be kidding me! Looks like tropical storm “Gustav” is on the way, ARRRGGGGGG! I just put up the bimini and tarp this morning. I’m thinking positively and hoping it goes out to the gulf. August & September are the high hurricane months; I guess I just have to deal with it. Hummmm, […]

I hate, I hate, I hate tropical weather! Well I didn’t have any damage; the whole thing was just really stressful. When hurricane Charlie rolled through here years back it was a category 4 hurricane. No boats were lost in the Fort Myers Yacht Basin. Splendid was tied with double lines and on all four […]

Hi Everyone, This is David the web guy.  Alex called me this morning and asked me to let everyone know that he and the boat are all OK after Tropical Storm Fay.  The Internet is still down where he is at so it might be another day or two before Alex can post some updates […]

I’m breaking my #1 rule, “DON’T BE IN HURRICANE SEASON”! Check out Fays predicted track: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?5day?large#contents I’m keeping a close eye on it. If it’s looking like it’s going to hit it means a lot of work. I’ll need to take sails off, stow dinghies & motors, and do a lot of praying. I hate, […]

Let the sanding begin!!! I’ve started with a small area of the bow and prepping for epoxy, primer & paint, WOOT! I’m shooting a nice video to kick off the 1st episode for bluesphereTV which we’ll be launching in a few weeks. The new website will launch with the shipping of the 2nd DVD “Finding […]

I’m so excited about being self sufficient on Splendid after I get my ship together. Someone sent me this cool youtube video recipe about making soy milk, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyvxCh-2P_I , They also sent a great link for sprouting http://www.sproutpeople.com/ . if your interested in making wine with me check out the wine making […]

The green river of money is coming to an end. I’ve ordered a new S3 course computer & corepack from Raymarine, 2 new solar panels, and my awesome new outboard. I also bought a new DC breaker panel. I found a really awesome vertical Ideal windlass that a guy has for sale here but I […]

I know the problem on my mercury is something stupid and I won’t let it win. I’ll fix it and sell it with the Caribe that came with Splendid. I’ll ask $1600 for the package. I hate getting rid of that Caribe as it’s such a nice Hypalon boat, and in great shape, but “you […]

This is a funny picture that my buddy Aras took. This was taken at the back entrance of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Click on it to enlarge and read the print. Man I was never this hot in the Pacific or South America. This is truly brutal. I can only manage to work outside […]

Something has really been eating at my gut. A few days before I returned to Fort Myers a police officer (Andrew Widman (d.o.b. 5-11-78)) was shot in the face and killed just a few blocks from Splendid and the Fort Myers Yacht basin. It turns out he was a friend of a friend and I […]

Man it’s been hot!!! I’ve decided to stay in the slip for one more month. I need to put in a bunch of hours on the new website and the power, AC, and internet will make it a lot easier. I got a check disk of the new DVD yesterday and it’s good, “Print them […]

Where oh where do I put all this crap? I’m boxing stuff for good will. Splendid came with so much stuff. I have 3 pasta strainers, 1000 towels, and stuff like that. The problem is I don’t have room for all my tools so I’m on a throwing out/ giving away rampage. My biggest problem […]

I just bought this wireless adapter on ebay and all I can say is WOW!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=130195139132 My internet is super fast and I’m picking up networks all over the place. It has a “pringle” type antenna that is directional, I think it will really work for me as I travel :) All is good. I’m […]

Man is it good to be back on Splendid! Sorry for the lack of updates lately but I just haven’t had the option. Life is good! My beautiful boat is right where I left her and I think she’s happy to have me back. I have a slew of projects to do and I’m going […]

It’s been a crazy week. After leaving Cape Fear, we had a solid 30 knots of wind for about 24 hours. It turned out that Tropical Storm Cristobal actually formed over top of us! The weather was not improving so we pulled into St. Augustine at night with lightning striking all around us and 25 […]

How can I be in the states and have the worst communication with my blogs than ever. The rest of the world has an Internet cafe on every corner. I’m at the public library in Beaufort North Carolina. My laptop is still dead and will update text and pictures once I get back in a […]

I’m still alive but don’t have Internet access. My laptop took in some sea water from a leaky hatch and has taken the big sleep. It will be difficult for me to reply to email and post logs for the next few weeks. Buddy, Aras, and I made it back to Mystic in one piece […]

Well I know most of you would enjoy a week in Bermuda but I’ve been wanting to go. Buddy, Aras and I are eager to get back. Well be leaving in the morning before 9:00. I’m very eager to get back to Splendid and my home. I still may have a job sailing across the […]

Buddy and I sailed (motored) around the island to Hamilton yesterday. Hamilton is the main city and the home of the Royal Bermuda Yacht club where we are spending the majority of our time. The Newport to Bermuda race is coming in and it is a bit of a madhouse at the club but fun. […]

Buddy and I arrived in Bermuda around noon. After clearing in we dropped the hook and went to have a great cheeseburger lunch (2 burgers and 2 beers $50.00) Outch!!! I ran into an old friend from Colombia/Panama here. The first boat In sight was a beautiful Bristol Channel Cutter and I immediately said “I […]

Remember all the stories about the Bermuda triangle? Maybe they are true. Today I lost the ships hydraulic system which controls the baby and back stays, as well as the boom-vang.  No real big deal as I can tighten everything with the turn buckles as necessary. The throttle /shift control also seems to have issues […]

Well it’s been a mix of weather since leaving the BVI’s. The first day it was awesome, but the first night was littered with squally weather. We had 25 – 40 kt headwinds for about 8 hours, then a peaceful 8-10 from the south west. I was hoping that the autopilot would magically wake up […]

I hate superstitions, I think they’re silly. As many of you know one is not supposed to leave on a long sea journey on a Friday, personally I don’t usually know what day it is so I don’t pay attention to this silly mariners superstition. All this being said I’m not leaving on a Friday, […]

Buddy and I sailed from Tortola to Jost Van Dyke yesterday. Joss (42’ Swan) is truly a lovely boat to sail. She is nimble, fast, and responsive. I used to be on a Swan race team many years ago and forgot how much I love these boats. Check my spot page by clicking the link […]

Well Buddy and I made it fine. It's always tough doing the “red eye” thing but I got some good sleep last night.   We've been working overtime to get Joss ready for sea. The bottom is clean, I've gone through the rig, fuel system, motor, electronics and allot more. I also got the reefing […]

Well today has been a travel day.   I met my buddy Buddy at his parents house in central Florida. I spent most of the day hanging out on a dock reading and contemplating my future. I'm looking forward to going to sea for a few weeks to clear my head and put everything in […]

I've been packing and getting Splendid ready to fair on her own for a while. I have double lines on all sides and protected with Kevlar chafing gear in case a storm decides to roll through. My buddy Tim will be watching Splendid in my absence, thanks Tim.   I got a cool new Gizmo. […]

I'm being reeled into the matrix once again. The only difference is I feel in control this time. I'm leaving Fort Myers on Tuesday to help my friend step his mast on Wed/Thursday. I'm planning on flying to San Juan PuertoRico on Friday and catching a jumper to Tortola. I'll provision for a few days […]

One of my 2 major projects (Autopilot & Windvane) is nearly finished. The windvane was beeyatch to install! Last year I sailed half way around the world. One of the things I learned is I want an Aries windvane steering my boat, here it is! I had to remove Splendid’s name and hailing port as […]

Wahooo! Wait till you guys see the new website, it's really going to be awesome!   David took off on Sunday and I've been working around the clock getting another version of the DVD to the replicator in California. I'm hoping to get a hard drive shipped tomorrow. This has really been the project from […]

My buddy David (my web guru), and computer geek extraordinaire is here from Texas for a few days. We are building the new projectbluesphere.com website. It really will be ultra sharp, we will launch in a month or so. Stay tuned for lots of surprises! On the DVD forefront I'm about to jump off a […]

Okay, here is a new update video. I’ve been scraping paint and grinding fiberglass, when do I get to go spear fishing? I’ll have the autopilot drive mounted by Monday. My buddy Aras came down and re-thunk the whole thing with me. His idea for mounting was better than mine and I ground off 4 […]

Splendid is becoming more and more of a disaster as I get deeper into the rabbit hole. That being said I feel pretty good about it, got to keep a good attitude right? For some reason I got more fiberglass on me yesterday then usual and my skin was really burning, so uncomfortable. Did you […]

I dreaming of cruising again. The famous Vietnamese/French sailor, Bernard Moitessier, said it more eloquently, “Once the coast disappears astern, a man alone before His creator can’t remain apart from the natural forces around him. His body and mind, freed from earthly bondage and attachments, can find their essence and purity in the heart of […]

I got back to my beautiful Splendid last night. Our trip on “Larissa” (31′ Cape Dory) ended about 6pm yesterday. I’ve never sailed a Cape Dory before but I’m a big fan now, what a wonderful boat! Eric (The owner) took us out to dinner at Joe’s crab Shack last night. The guys went out […]

Not too much time to write but I wanted to post an update. We arrived in Tampa arount 10pm last night. We had a nice 58 hour sail/motor from Niceville Florida. We caught a wahoo and had it for dinner and breakfast. I’m going to cut a cool little video about the trip and post […]

Well I got a call to go on a 400 mile trip in the Gulf. I’m bringing Splendid into a slip and taking off on Sunday and will be out of touch for the most part of the week. I broke down and bought myself a nice bike today. I found a used Schwin Mesa […]

I’m really touched that I have such good friends. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped me along my way. And even those of you who haven’t donated you still read and make the site popular, “thanks guys”. Thank you Ross, thank you Chuck, thank you Eric, thank you John, […]

I went aloft on Splendid for the first time yesterday. It’s much higher than Namaste. I put on the windex and tri-color. The Tri-color doesn’t turn on but I think the problem is in the boat, not in the mast. I also inspected all the swedges and hardware. The day before was a spend one. […]

I finally got my Mercury 10 hp outboard running. It always starts on the second pull cold, and the first warm. Aside from rebuilding the carb I had to re-epoxy the stator magnets under the flywheel, they had become loose. I believe this is why the motor was so cheap ($350.00). I think the previous […]

I HATE OUTBOARD MOTORS!!!! I have 3 outboards and can’t get one working. I have a Johnson 8 that came with the boat. The lower unit is seized, I’m saving it for boring day project. I have the Mercury 10 HP Sea Pro that I paid $350.00 for. I ordered a new carburetor from a […]

Well the Autopilot saga continues. My big project is fitting a tiller arm to my rudder post for the drive unit. I was planning to buy one from Edson but was shocked to find that it was nearly $500.00. I can’t justify paying that much for a piece of machined bronze. I did a little […]

Well, I’ve started the process of putting in the autopilot. The first week of the process was mostly conceptual, “how do I mount the drive”? I found the manual to my old Autohelm 6000 ($800 on Ebay) on the Raymarine site. It is pre-GPS interface era. I never did hook up my last autopilot to […]

I few people have emailed in and said they miss reading my logs. You know what? I miss writing them. I guess I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and detached from my words. What I really miss is waking up and not feeling the “pull” of the environment (society) around me. I don’t enjoy living in […]

After a bunch of work, Splendid is getting close to sailing. I have internet for a few days and thought it was a good time to post an update video. Here it is: /portals/0/videos/vidupdate.wmv Don’t forget to see the Preview for the next DVD. I have to check today, but I believe they made 1000 […]

Well the one big hitch in my “gitalong” is my autopilot. I’m waiting to hear if I’m getting one sponsored “Please, Please, please!!!”, but if not I’ve bought a bunch of parts and I’m going to start the process of building one next week. I’m also building a unique bilge switch. I really hate float […]

And I’ve been working over time. Today was grimy in the engine room day. I sorted out the bilge pump, rebuilt it, re-pluming it, re-wired it and re-fastened it. I put in a good 10m hours today and I’m almost done. Tomorrow I need to put on a couple hose clamps and tidy up the […]

We’ll I’ve been running around like crazy. I had a friend visit for a few days and I picked up Josh from the airport yesterday. When I was in Tampa I went to look at a 10hp Mercury for $500.00 (paid $350.00). The guy didn’t know much about it. It didn’t have a fuel tank […]

MY DVD (Finding Freedom) is done and in the mail to Burbank for duplication! Making this film is a milestone for me and a great reward of accomplishment. We will truly be shipping it in a few weeks! All I have to do is tweak the cover art and design the disk surface. I’ll never […]

Man…, it’s always something! Maybe I just got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? I got up to a beautiful sunny day and set my computer to work for a few hours. I figured I go out to West Marine and get a few things accomplished while my computer was crunching […]

Well…, my stuff (Personal effects from Namaste) leaves Australia in a few days. It will arrive in Tampa Bay in about 6 weeks (fingers crossed). It will be arriving via Singapore, why don’t I get to go to Singapore! Oh yeah, I wanted a bigger boat. The last of my money is running out ultra-fast! […]

I found pages to the original brochure for the 40′ Cheoy Lee Midshipman, it’s so retro!!!   http://neo.projectbluesphere.com/splendid.pdf   Anyway I’ve been printing the final files for the new DVD. I’ve spent hours on the phone with tech support and trying to figure out my compression issues between my HDV video footage, and converting down […]

The Autopilot will set me free. I don’t want to screw around with my pilot this time. If you guys remember I went through a few pilots over the previous years, I’m kind of hard on them. The most disturbing time of my Pacific crossing was when my pilot failed after leaving the Palmerton atoll […]

I’ve been recovering from a bug since I’ve returned from Atlanta. I’m starting to feel like I’m beating it. I had to put in a new deck fill for the holding tank. I couldn’t get it open and needed to go to the dock for a pump out and water. I tried selling my marine […]

The guy (Jason) who found splendid for me drove down from Minneapolis to give me a hand fixing things for a few days. He’s an electronic repair tech and has been knocking out some electrical issues for me. My generator has not been working well as the choke needs to be all the way on. […]

Man it’s good to be home. I never want to leave Splendid again. Josh stayed on splendid through gale/near gale conditions. I hear it was gusting to near 50 knots.                                                                                                                                 Well I’ve managed to get myself sick. I couldn’t sleep last night and got up with a soar throat. I’ve been slow today and […]

Well I’m going back to Florida in the morning. My sister is healing up but may have to go in for surgery later in the week, it all depends on her xray tomorrow. It’s wild being back here at my Step Moms house. I haven’t seen it for 26 years, man I’m feeling old! Getting […]

Well I’m in Atlanta today. I made a 10 hour drive yesterday to Atlanta from Fort Myers. I almost turned around 100 times because the weather was so bad and I was worried about Splendid. My buddy Josh is staying on Splendid and watching her while I’m gone. When I woke up this morning and […]

Just a quick update to my last log. I just spoke the dock master here who was ultra cool. He said I didn’t need to sigh anything and that they just want contact info in case they need to get in touch with me. He was really helpful and put all my worries at ease. […]

I’m really starting to feel uncomfortable back home, I don’t know if I can survive here. My sister thing (police brutality) has me really freaked out, and I guess it is a common occurrence. A friend sent me this link  http://www.hrw.org/reports98/police/uspo41.htm , I found it disturbing. The other thing that is bugging me is I […]

As most of you know my writing is sporadic. Some days I just have more to say then others; today is one of those days.. I haven’t been not talking about something since I’ve been back in the states and I can’t hold it in any more. I’ve been having reverse culture shock. I inherited […]

Well, I’ve made it to Fort Myers. I’m out on the hook and loving life. I met two new friends (Sam and Jim) that I’ve been speaking to through the website for a few years now. They showed up with some provisions and a Yamaha generator for me to start my repairs with, “Whaoo” I […]

It’s time for me to let go and take a breath! I’ve really been busting my ass on Splendid with the notion that I’m heading south before hurricane season and it may not happen. I may stay in Florida or head north for the summer. I knew the anchors on Splendid were grossly undersized and […]

I spent my first night on the hook last night and slept like a baby! I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the work I need to do. I’m throwing away and giving away so much stuff. I’m going to go look for a little inverter today. I’ll get a 750 – 1000 watt inverter until […]

Splendid is floating for the first time in 5 years, The motor is running well but the generator is seized, ARG!! Chuck really helped get me into the water, thanks bro. I’ve also made some good new friends. Scott has a fuel polishing business and had really helped out. I’ve also made friends with my […]

Alex is ALIVE!!   This update is from Ken, the person who sent your dvd if you bought one, and I’m an old friend of Alex’s.   As you may know Alex is in a remote boatyard in Florida without access to the internet.  I just spoke with him on his cell phone and he […]

Chuck and I just got back from 2 days of hard work on “Splendid. The yard is a 2 hour commute from the house here in Stuart. The commute is a killer but a good time for conversation. We put in new batteries, filled some blisters, and pulled the prop and shaft. The shaft was a bit off and is […]
