Trip entries from my travels
So today has been a slog of a race. A cold blow all night where I realized I’m just not a good helmsman on the boat… I’m ok with that I think. My navigation skills are solid and I can trim a kite like nobody’s business so I’m good with those skills for now. But … Read more
the finish of the Chicago Mac was crazy. Boats dismasted, people airlifted out of the race but fortunately none from our boat. Though we did break our boom vang and a spin sheet shackle and a belt was wearing severely on our diesel. I’ll try to post pictures but I don’t know what I have … Read more
so after an event called Mackinaw side of the race where we saw: we decided to not do the super part of the super Mac and just end our race at Mackinaw. We are now motoring down to presque Isle. There we will get some new diesel and take a shower perhaps. no pictures for … Read more

So things I was in search of yesterday: The only downside was that in my sleep deprived state, I plugged my strobe cables for my camera in backwards and didn’t figure out the problem until much later in the day. So, not so many pictures today but some. Believe it or not it happened, and … Read more
So yesterday.. it was up at 6am, a quick cappuccino at the hotel and a leisurely 3 minute walk down to the dive shop a half block away. I was thinking I was GENIUS with this hotel pick at this point (more on that later) I meet Jonathan the front desk man, and sign all … Read more
So, I don’t think will be too much to this blog today. (you know that’s a lie, I can’t help myself) At the moment I’m sitting at the table at the waterside restaurant, El Turrumote and I’ve found that I can connect my foldable keyboard to my phone so I can get some descent blog … Read more
ladies and gentlemen… Today’s blog will be late as in a dead sleep last night I did this to my tablet
Loyal readers. As Eric mentioned in his comment yesterday my experience with the hotel was comedic gold. Well, suffice it to say there was some alchemy going on and that gold turned to scat in a hurry yesterday. I’ll spare you all the details, more becuase it will likely just get me upset again. Short … Read more
