Aug. 1, 2008 - Provisioned for the Gulf Crossing
I'll let ya'll be the judge of the above provisioning "how to"....
We cleared ou this morning (Island Time Jim says it's the Clearout-cha-cha-cha), finished our provision shopping, bought a few last trinkets, took the dingy over to north beach for fish tacos (dingy problems though, lots of leaks), stowed the dingy and motor, harvested a couple of coconuts to bring back (27), washed the deck and we're pretty much done. Topping off water tanks, and maybe a couple of other small chores ("anything that can fly....will).....
Early light dinner, shower and bed.
Weather window looks good and we should be on our way in the early morning.
Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Youre mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, thats his problem, now isnt? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.
