Foggy, I've always wanted to get into Kirkegaard. Tried a couple of times, but never got very far. I've always wanted to read some Schopenhauer too because of my love of Wagner's music. I do less and less reading as I grow older. I love the quote you give here: Here's one from Heidegger I've...

Is my imagination, or is the restored C-Brats website performance a bit snapper than the past??

This tragic story has a silver lining for me. As I travelled down Vancouver Island's west coast this summer during my circumnavigation, I spend 3, 4, and even one time 5 days, waiting for gales and confused seas to subside before making a rounding. There were times I was tempted by impatience to...

Gary, Yep, a great tool. I'm pleased that it was fun for you. I was even more pleased for myself :wink: :lol: !! As you know, the information you provided me was invaluable. When one is out there with no other communication (not even VHF weather sometimes), and especially if you are alone...

I finally got around to compiling some statistics from my trip. I thought those of you who followed my adventure might be interested: - Used 444.2 gallons of gasoline at a cost of ~$3000 - Distance travelled = ~1300 miles (lots of trips up fiords etc included) - Spent about $5500 on moorage...

Pat, Well, it certainly is the ultimate gamble :wink: ! One of my good friends died at 52 many years ago. One day he was fine, then 6 months later he died of a brain tumor. My best friend died at 73 and he was in the best shape of anyone I've ever known (he ate perfect, didn't drink or smoke...

Colby, I might be interested in "hanging out" for a couple of days after the gathering. I wouldn't be interested in going too far, but I wouldn't rule out even going a bit into Canada. A couple of caveats: 1. the weather has to be reasonable; 2. if shrimping opens that week, I'll have to...

Indeed, she was an example we can all admire.

Thanks Harvey. It is indeed great to be home (altho I am still spending a great deal of my time with the boat: flushing the engine; power washing the bottom and topsides; unloading gobs of stuff....you know the drill). Finally, I've told you privately, but allow me to say it publicly, THANKS...

Here's the Garmin track of my trip:

Sorry I haven't posted sooner....It's taken me awhile to reload all my data from the laptop I used on the trip to my home-based desktop. Done now. ---------------------------------------- I got back home on Tuesday 8/30 about 4pm....exactly 8 weeks from when I left. I had estimated it would...

Vancouver Island trip - complete track.

Bob, like you (but not to your extent), originally I was a sailboat guy. I've been on the ocean several times in a sailboat (for example: a San Francisco to Desolation Sound trip in the late 70s). Sailing up the coast 24 hours a day in iffy weather did not bother me in a sailboat with its keel...

(Sent from Tofino....a place I've learned to dislike) Thanks David for explaining. A story....when I looked a David's boat (I bought it in 2014), there was so much to love about it. David made many clever modifications that I still enjoy today. However, there was one thing I was not crazy...

Have cell for a bit. Journey on, Sorry to disappoint you, but I've had it. I only care about one thing at this point....getting home as fast as I safely can. I'm tired of a portapotti, tired of setting up and tearing down the sette to sleep every night, tired of worrying about the conditions on...

I have just the iffy-ish of cell connections. It comes and goes from 1 bar to no service. But I think I can just get this post off before I move on. That's pretty much what I plan to do. I'm quite enjoying hanging around these little coves (no other boats so far) now that I don't feel the...

Journey on, Tomorrow (Sunday) early, i will prove your prediction from yesterday (Friday) correct!
