Month: March 2022

When you are sitting around waiting for weather to past there is generally not much to do or write about. When I first arrived here there was a boat that decided to create a community of boats and people, who were all here for the same reason… to wait out the strong winds. Most of… Continue reading West Bay, New Providence [Mar 4-6]

Manhood can be defined in a lot of ways… first sexual experience, first great loss, first time fending for yourself. The trip to Stone Harbor (SH) took 2 days, along the way we stopped in North Carolina, the home of inexpensive cigarettes at that time. My sister-in-law smoked, my older brother smoked, and I smoked,… Continue reading Insight #6, Boy to Man, not a singer…

As the divorce process ran its course a new twist occurred. I’m assuming that Mom and Dad had agreed in principle on the distribution of assets, even though the final divorce decree had not been issued, because there was another change in resident parenting at the house on Cayuga Rd. Mom was leaving and moving… Continue reading Insight #5, Manipulation and betrayal…

No, I didn’t forget #3, its not finished yet. After the difficulties encountered in moving to a new State, City, and culture, a new challenge reared its ugly head much sooner then I would have chosen. Without anyone telling me anything… I’ve got to stop for a second and tell you that I’ve detected a… Continue reading Insight #4, Difficult times don’t develop character, they reveal it…

Single events, not matter how small or insignificant they may seem, can change your life forever. When I was 10 years old my mother had a heart attack, she was only 47. I knew something was wrong because dad was really serious, more so then normal. When I asked what was going on, he told… Continue reading Insight #2

I was going to leisurely make my way from George Town back to the US, you know, take a few weeks, visit the places that I hadn’t on the way down and get back the third week of March, but something that the Marine Weather Forecaster said while I was in George Town got my… Continue reading Observations [Friday Mar 4]

I woke at 4:00 am, I have no idea why, I listened to weather at 6:30 am, it should be another great day for sailing, so I’m headed to Nassau. I had created a route from Norman’s to the eastern entrance of Nassau harbor, which is the closest entrance to my current location. The only… Continue reading Norman’s Cay [Thursday Mar 3]

I woke up at 6:30 am and listened to weather, I determined that it should be great for sailing today and so I’m leaving for Norman’s Cay. Immediately after the weather I went ashore to dump some trash, Black Point keeps a cruiser trash trailer by the dinghy dock, they don’t charge for dumping the… Continue reading Black Point, Day 2 [Wednesday Mar 2]

Woke at 6:30 am, but no SSB, so I listened to weather online. Nothing new in the forecast. I was not able to get the boat to a dock deep enough to fix the radar mount, but I did power it up and tested it, and the radar is working perfectly, I just need to… Continue reading Black Point, [Tuesday Mar 1]

Woke at 6:00 am and turned the SSB on to stabilize the crystal temperature before the weather broadcast at 6:30 am. Set the frequency and at the appropriate time, nothing. There is definitely something wrong with this radio, so I listened online. It is a good thing that I’ll be meeting up with the SSB… Continue reading Little Farmers to Black Point, [Monday Feb 28]
