November 29 Friday This morning when I turned on the SSB there was too much loud interference so I turned it off. Next I checked for internet service as yesterday afternoon it stopped working. It was still off. With no internet I couldn’t laze around drinking coffee and reading the paper so I had to […]
November 27 Thursday Up early as usual but discombobulated as being Thanksgiving there was no weather from Chris Parker. Next thing as I was getting ready to paint the dingy bottom, I missed the local net on VHF Chanel 68. So if anything special was planned for today I missed it. Oh well! Since it […]
November 26 Wednesday I had a restful night now that Changes is in the water. The C dock is well protected but the boats still roll around on passing wakes. Basically the boat is never still but it way better than the anchorage. Once the coffee was made I pumped the bilge and noticed that […]
November 24 Monday I got out of bed at 6:30 AM , did my exercises, made coffee and tried to listen to Chris Parker’s weather. I could hear him on the SSB at 8.137 MHz but he was so light that I didn’t get most of his forecast. It was laundry day so I gathered […]
November 22 Saturday I got up a little early and got my stretching in before the weather. When Chris Parker came on the radio I could hear him especially good but it was short lived as the signal soon got all garbled. I drank my coffee and started to read the paper. But there was […]
November 23 Sunday I slept in and had a late breakfast of cereal and my morning coffee. I spent the morning reading Shelby Footes volume 1 of the Civil War. After lunch I walked over to Cruise Inn to play dominos and pick up some groceries. The dominoes were not kind to me as I […]
Saturday, November 22 It seems like I do some of my best thinking at night, so I’m going to reflect on the purpose of writing the blog for me. Last trip as you may recall, I wrote about every day on our trip. Please go here, if you want to read that blog of our […]
November 22 Friday Last night was the first night sleeping in the V-berth and after I got up I felt ok. I had been worried that my back would hurt worse but it didn’t. I went through the usual routine of stretching, coffee, and Chris Parker’s weather. I had some ambition so I tackled the […]
November 20 Thursday I got up before 7a, did my stretches and listened to Chris Parker’s weather. There was a loud interfering signal but I could hear most of the forecast. Next coffee and the morning paper. In my case the New York Times on line. The first thing was to put the bedding on […]
