Hi Mom, Arrived at Epiphany Harbor and am safely at anchor, all's well, and writing again for self entertainment while the quest continues for a girlfriend. So I'll share what appears to be a further act of social suicide (aside from my cougar dissertation) in the buying of my first car in 9 years. Thanks Mom for going with me to test-drive the Porches last week, I sure liked them and my depre... [read more]

Hi Mom, All's well on land these days and my mercury levels must be dropping, as I am craving seafood and often look wistfully into my roommate's fish tank... Oh well, I'm sure to be taking in other toxins so likely I won't go into shock. I note to friends overseas, Hurricane Ike wiped clean from the face of the earth the marina where I first docked when arriving back in the US. About a mo... [read more]

HI Mom, Just a week since my last missive and more adventures in mainstream…”Houston Space Control… The Seagull has landed” (Gypsy Soul rests on Lake Travis). I may have written months and months back about having a dream, about the Gypsy Soul being safe and home, on lake Travis, stripped pretty and uncovered in cruising junk with 6 inches of waterline showing. Well I was having a déjàvu moment ... [read more]

OK I had trouble getting this out last week and it only went to a few friends...friggin technology...so if you getting it twice trash it, I think I have finally gotten my gmail operational...remember ' I just got off the boat' ben Hi Mom, Well Mom 'yes' I was just at your house playing lawn-guy, but I miss writing to you and haven't had much time to reflect since arr...

Hi Friends, The last underway missive and a thought on the first week home. Wayne, Kai and Paul got me home safely, and with the camaraderie of good crew I had little time to reflect on the finish of Gypsy Soul’s circumnavigation. It was an easy no- danger crossing; we even motored for about 2 of the days as the gulf was like a still pond. The most excitement we had been in screaming fishing... [read more]

Hi Mom, Well it’s the last missive from abroad I think, and a long one filled with the last weeks adventure and a few reflective moments on the last leg home. In two days we will be able to send a date of arrival, and the day after maybe a time. After the train of friends, family and film guys the last couple months, constant dodging of reefs and the shallow water heebeegeebees, the open g... [read more]
