Some good points, a different take on Tarot, and a song for my favorite holidaze… I’ll be honest and admit that sailing around the Caribbean has become a bit nervous and confused of late. For starters, it appears we seem to be ramping up for yet another war based on bugger all. You know, sort …
More Caribbean murders, some interesting typewriter stuff, and over in the “FAFO” department… Yeah, I do know that Mali is a land-locked African country and not on anyone’s sailing itinerary but, I expect, it won’t be the only country with the same idea and some will be on cruising routes. As it happens, I’ve completely …
A blast from the past, Scalzi on that AI slop, and in the “apt last words” department… Cruising, by its very nature is a nomadic pursuit. However, more often than not, it’s more akin to nomadized tourism. To tell you the truth, I’ve never been a big fan of being a tourist. Luckily for me, …
Somewhat happy making, something about reading, and the word of the day is “Obloquy”… Every once in a while I find myself considering doing the Panama canal. Partly because it’s the easy way to get to the Pacific and partly as a time saver. Then I do the math and find it keeps getting more …
A real mind-blower, some Orca news, and in the “300 million snafu” department… So, yeah, the US military took out another alleged drug boat killing three persons in the process. As it happens, the powers that be are in high spirits and promise more of the same. The fact that it’s against international law doesn’t …
A bit nervous making, some Scalzi looking back, and the word for today is p-s-y-c-h-o-s-o-c-r-a-c-y… The last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about the current cruising landscape, the general state of the world, and my future plans. Whatever you may think about the ongoing state of affairs, we can all agree it’s …
Sounds about right, an interesting breakdown on stupid, and in the “I need a drink” department… A couple of days ago, I noticed that the powers that be are adding a extra $250 fee for those needing a visa to visit the US of A. Apparently, with USA tourism spiraling the ceramic bowl, that extra …
An interesting read, something about Daddy issues, and in the “get to doing” department… It seems there’s some more bad news in the world of weather forecasting. I’ll just point out that turning your back on available science is just plain stupid. Still, with any luck, the Felon’s resort just might find itself on the …
A cartoon that says it all, an interesting post from L,G,&M, and how a lot of us feel… So, the current piratical increase in cruising fees for folks visiting the Bahamas makes for a non-Volkcruiserish destination. The good news is that at least we know in advance and can avoid visiting or sailing through the …
EBM with a couple of pictures, a good question, and in the “somewhat troubling” department… Boy howdy, every time I look at charts they’re even more expensive. Yeah, I know, paper charts are old fashioned and electronic charts combined with a phone, computer, or chart plotter are what all the cool folks use. I long …
