Month: February 2022

Recent journal entries have been somewhat technical, which is the polite way of saying boring for most people. And while that is true, I’ve spent the better part of the last week fixing things around the boat which is in-and-of-it-self boring for me too. But you do what you have to do. I woke up… Continue reading George Town, Day 14 [Saturday Feb 26]

While I wait for improving weather my task today is to discover the source(s) of interference that the SSB is picking up and minimize it. The receive signal seems weak and noisy. Also, I have to wire up the external speaker to the terminal strip on the rear panel of the SSB so that I… Continue reading George Town, Day 12 [Thursday Feb 24]

Generally, I take my time coming to conclusions about things, I watch everything. Some people find it a bit creepy and unsettling, I get that… I don’t speak unless I have something important to say, don’t engage in frivolous conversation unless the situation calls for it. I’m ok with and enjoy silence, which is probably… Continue reading Observations [Thursday Feb 24]

This is, in many respects, a pivotal day. I’ve been here long enough for newbies to ask me questions that I can answer with authority, hell I didn’t know jack when I got here a little over a week ago. I know what you’re thinking, OMG what? OK, I never really intended to be here… Continue reading George Town, Day 11 [Wednesday Feb 23]

Up at 6:00 am, made breakfast, next I listened to the Cruiser’s Net on channel 68, then after the net I sat there thinking about what today will be, besides another day in paradise… I decided that today I will start preparation for departing tomorrow. I’m heading north and visiting the Cays we missed on… Continue reading George Town, Day 9 [Monday Feb 21]

Plan for the day; 8:00 am, George Town Cruisers Net, speaking of which, the sailboat that grounded at Exuma Yacht Club got off the bottom yesterday, they announced that they were leaving the harbor for Long Island (the one down here, not the one up north) and thanked everyone for their assistance in a time… Continue reading George Town, Day 8 [Sunday Feb 20]

I was debating last evening whether to start moving north in the Exumas and visit the Cays missed on the way down, or stay a few more days in George Town and get started fixing things. I’ve got three major project that need my attention, one of them includes climbing up the side of the… Continue reading George Town, Day 7 [Saturday Feb 19]

I had a typical Sarah breakfast this morning, but without a second mouth to hog-up all the extra pancakes and syrup… not that I was watching. Anyway, the winds are light this morning and it is looking like I’ll finally be making the NAPA store run today. I’ll wait until after the George Town Cruisers… Continue reading George Town, Day 6 [Friday Feb 18]
