Hi Mom, Under way again and a short email to tell all that my hotmail address is off line till Brazil. We have a 6 day weather window of perfect trades slightly enhanced by a low pressure system over the continent. Am in company of Free Fall again, with 5 other boats leaving within two days. We are all making for St Helena island, a British Isle right in the middle of the Great Puddle Atlantic,... [read more]

Hi Mom, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa 1/14/07 Just as I write the Gypsy Soul and I are rounding the southernmost Cape of Africa, Cape Agulhas, its 7am and the sun's just crested the horizon helping me shake off the southern chill. We've entered the Atlantic, the Gypsy Soul and I after 5 years, and I can almost smell the Caribbean and home waters of the Gulf of Mexico…yea right 8000 miles... [read more]

Hi Mom, here goes again. I think I need to get back to the real world to learn how to use the damnable internet. I'm off shore now, have bought a new transmitter and can use my sailmail again Thanks friends for the follow-up saying 'all I got is gibberish' 'junk' 'trash' I love good critics! Here's some more!. Hi mom, (now 5 days old email) I'm sailing down the coast of Africa toward the ... [read more]

Hi Mom Compared to last year’s holidays in Buddhist Thailand, this year’s a bit more in the spirit of Christmas. Of course that’s with the understanding temperatures are near a hundred in the dog days of a mid African summer, but I’ve been in the southern hemisphere long enough, with enough holidays under my belt, to now imagine Santa in spedos instead of Artic gear. It is not a pretty picture... [read more]

Hi mom, Laptop is working once again, it’s been 7 months of intermittent emails and I’ve fallen out of habit. I've really missed my morning compositions with steaming coffee at hand, pondering cultural curiosities and forwarding my often misguided musings to friends. South Africa has been interesting, dynamic, raw and saddening. Having limped into the country on the Broken Soul, it took ne... [read more]

November and Holydaze-mania in full swing? Are the Sunday Newspapers 2 inches thick with advertisements for "gotta get" presents for bla and bla and bla, "should get for myself while on sale" and "that looks yummy, hell I need a few extra pounds personal insulation to fend off the arctic Texas winters!"? Well we're not under any pressure to consumerize and get fat out here for sure. We raised S... [read more]

Hi Mom, the emails up and running again as you can tell, still some more fixing to do but for the time being we're 'in cummunicado' We've cleared Madagascar's coast and are off into the Mozambique Channel, eastern central Africa is 300 miles west but we will be sailing some thousand miles south to our destination, Richards Bay South Africa, which means we will be skirting 1/3 the continental co...

Hi mom, I know it's been forever since I've written and I'm sure your thinking that my remiss is due to love and can't be bothered. Well I'm afraid that's not it. While Melissa and I are doing great, getting along wonderfully, I actually have been writing more than ever before, but my transmitting equipment is still o the fritz. So here's a long update about the Seychelles Islands, which after ... [read more]

Hi Mom, We're underway, everything's fine. I don't know if my radio will start working as we near Africa so this may be an ongoing email over several days, to be sent later. The only hitch on this trip, knock on wood, is that my transmission went out and for the first time in over six years I am making a crossing solely under sail-power, just over a thousand miles. It was easy enough sailing of... [read more]

Hi Mom, All well and we're readying for the 1000 mile run to Seychelles and cast of tomorrow. Unlike the long term Chagosian exiles, we had not provisioned for months or a year, and after 2 weeks of fresh-vegetable-free dishes Mel and I are in agreement to hazard crossing the rest of the ocean for a salad. For provisioning other sailors have pickled vegetables and jarred fruits, and some as sai... [read more]
