Hey Wayne, all good, this is a note to all: Apparently some who are on the email list are way too shark-phobia-nated by Jaws. We shall see what issues I will have acquired sometime in the near future, but be assured, next time I get into the water; I'm not admitting shit to you...or especially to myself. More from friends: (you crazy, reckless, sea-faring, lovable, LUCKY FUC-ING IDIOT!) (Af... [read more]
Hey Wayne, Hands doing great now, all the bits stuck together and I’m lounging around the marina. At this point my shoulder's more sore from the tetanus shot than my hand from the nip...almost anyway. Typhanie, Tony & Neil have moved on, but not after throwing themselves onto the Ole Soul cleaning and organizing her from bow to stern. Galley and head have never been so clean, decks are stowe...

Wayne, yes I deserved all your lambasting, and more. The response to yesterdays email so far; "What the fuc do you think your doing?", "clean the wound good, be careful of infection, sending you good vibes", " Send us pictures!", " moron!", " good luck with the recovery", "at least you have one good hand to feel up chicks with!". I spoke with Dave today after 2 & half hours of stitching my ... [read more]
Wayne! Hey bro just trying out left hand typing, got my hand caught in the business end of Mr. Toothy’s mouth today, will have sewn up tomorrow when I make landfall. Will write more later, am underway to Townsville, about 70 miles, ending trip a couple days early. Looks like I get to keep all me digits though, all well I think, still have feeling in all my fingers, looks like minor tendon damag... [read more]
Wayne! May 2006, Australia Northern Coast How goes summer? I thought I'd made it to the tropical climes, mentioned in last email, but a ridge of high pressure blew in from the south and the temp has returned to 70's, its overcast and blowing like stink. What else to do? Get underway of course, onward up to the tropics (how weird is that?). The Gyps Soul is cracking along at 7-8 knots under ... [read more]
Hi Mom, All's well on board, the crew is shaping up and we are now anchored out on the Great Barrier Reef inside circular shaped Stanley Reef, a federally protected area about 50 miles off the mainland. We've been underway for 5 days now through the Whitsundays, covering tracks and highlights of the last few weeks with Melissa. But out here there is no land or even drying reefs on the GB, just ...

Hi Mom, Hope summer's not already too hot in ole San Antone, and that your garden thrives under retirement from real-estate insanity! We’re sailing north inside the Great Barrier Reef and it's becoming warmer, in the mid 80s now. Still in the Whitsunday Islands, the Ole Soul and I have a new crew of 6 for the few hundred mile sail to Townsville and Magnetic Island. That's where I spent time ... [read more]
Tjits and Doran! Great to hear from you, thought my shot at Doran might initiate a response. Yes Airlie Beach is probably much the same, an entire backpack culture of international hormones on the make, wallowing in alcohol and pot. It is very NOT my scene, but when your crew dives headfirst into it, it's always fun for a couple days to observe reflections of my youth like a looking glass into ... [read more]
Hi mom, I haven't heard from you in a couple weeks, surely it’s because your Web TV box is full again with junk mail. I checked my hotmail address after 2 weeks and found two personal emails intermingled with about 50 spams offering home refinancing & credit cards, which I have come to suspect are all part of a conspiracy with the Viagra spam, to encourage and afford ever increasing libido prom...

Hi mom, We’re sailing up the gold coast, inside the Great Barrier Reef, a crew of 6 on board. Spring must be in the air up in Texas, as fall is down- under here, and I've had all the sweating I need over the last months traveling outback Australia. Temps are now in the 80's, southeast trade winds are fair astern, the Ole Soul is cracking along at 7 knots, and there's a beautiful set of islands ... [read more]
