Where am I?

Some of you here know, those of you in distant areas may not. For the time being I am still here. Olivia has sold, and El Caribe II is getting readied for the process. I just purchased a Navtex reciever, and am looking at solar panels for the final upgrades. And, oh yea - get that pesky oil leak taken care of on the main engine. 

I moved the old girl recently and in the process the shifter cable bound up, and came disconnected, necessitating its replacement. A warning sign that I haven't been mobile enough with her lately. Well at least in preparation I had the hull and prop cleaned and the center board trunk cleaned out......

It has been a funky winter with one cold front after another slamming into us....none real large, but just aggrevating enough to turn the Gulf into a seething chocolate mikshake, a pounding beat 'em up ride.....one I've sought to avoid.

Other changes.....hmmmmmm. Think I'll leave those stories for later. And I have amassed a few stories... Things are OK (except for the state of the economy, the state of the nation, the state of the state, the state of the world....).

Oh yea.....if you don't find much new stuff here try the Eye of the Hurricane blog (it allows me to use a bit more -ahem- creativity....There's a link to it on the sidebar.
