Inching closer to preparedness ...

Mr. Bikey is inching closer to the forward hold.........
I hope I don't misplace the peddles.......

I put together an 'OVERBOARD' bag.......
Something I can cling dearly to..... in the event of ..... Whatever?

Inching closer to  preparedness..........
Or Just sail around the Keys?

More, More, More......

 Where does the Bicycle go?

The Electronics Bay...... for the time being....

Feel Fee To Find Me.

 Who remembers  Qualudes.......? 714's........ the irony is not lost on me.
those with a glass of milk... made quite a meal.... so I hear.

Heavens to Betsy...... Boo........

of course I am joking...  I never messed with those...  I only drink Beer... from time to time... or a sip of wine... and puff on stinky cigars.....

Now I apply my piloting skills... in the direction of a vertical wing........

Falling Short Of the Mark....

Why is it that wi-fi does not rain down on the entire planet wherever you are for FREE?
only thing I can figure is  'THEY' have fallen short of the MARK...........

So I want to get in my tub and Sail off..... you see.... but,

I don't want to be inconsiderate.... and worry anyone as to my whereabouts.... and safety...
or is that part of the game.... of sailing off into the sunset.......?

Is one of your family members worried about 'YOU' ?  Dear, Dear......... YOU......

I learned the best definition of inconsideration from watching  a Heroin Addict.... I have ever seen....

When he disappeared for 3 night with nary a call... and his sister  was calling around to Hospitals and Police Stations... as he was  overdue for  landing HOME.....

Her pain went completely unacknowledged  of course...  never even crossing  her brothers  muddled brain.

So now I am compelled  to look at 'GIZMOS'  tracking devices....  not for myself, however I would still take one with an  SOS feature........

AS:

The new age Sailor....

NO Slocum .... I..........

All this technology sucking us in....... and yet........ it still does not Rain Wi Fi........ all across the Globe.

Lets get on the ball man..........

'YOU'RE ' falling short of the Mark......... as the  'THEY'  in YOU and the US is.

 In Our continual.......

Falling Short Of the Mark.............

First May Day Call.... at the Dock.

The Pocket Cruiser......
and to think I was weighing the options of a Micro Cruiser.......

When I am finished provisioning... I am concerned there will be no room left for me.

I ordered the Near Bahamas Adventure Chart Kit...

Will he or Won't he?

Shake down cruise is in order...  for those of you who are interested....

'THE' pocket cruiser is a 22' South Coast... a  (Carl Alberg) design...  bless his heart.....

I have a whopping engine I just fully serviced... a new water pump impeller.. fresh gear lube in the foot and new synthetic oil... and two sails... a main and a jib..... 3 radios and a g.p.s.... and all required safety equipment...

I am waiting for the Charts to arrive... and I am putting the finishing touches on my deemed necessary accumulations.... and the constant watching of the weather and where is the nearest island to duck behind?


Sailing

Everything you do could be a stupid mistake....... Mistake? You're just lucky if it isn't..........
