Crossing big oceans is rather monotonous so for some of you this post will capture the monotony of what a captain does on watch. We left Valdviia April 1st and it’s now the 14th and we’re at S 29 05.741…
another day
After a successful toe extraction yesterday, I have developed a new injury on my middle finger. I think we used to refer to that finger when kids as the dirty finger or something. Ha. That’s cracking me up. It’s been…
Another gift from the sea
We haven’t had a ton of success fishing so far until today. We caught a big “big eye” tuna, one of my favorites. Jerri prepared by pan frying in olive oil with a side of rice. Even cold, since I…
Mal de Mar
I’ve suffered from seasickness since I was a child. I vividly remember getting sick in our old wood paneled station wagon in the jump seat in the trunk when I was a child and how that car was never the…

Robinson Crusoe a few days late in posting
