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]

Hey mom don't get the big expensive campaign bottle, just some cheep stuff from costco, a few bottles. Thinking to arrive june 4th around 10AM, Galveston ship channel, janet can give you directions, or meet with you to follow statesman camera guy's there.

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]

Mom Arrived safe and sound, Now here's a laugh, get a beer in hand. I'm sitting in the airport and a film crew comes in, more than 30 people, big fucking cameras, directors, shooting some kind of major motion picture, all talking on walky-talkys with head sets. I am in the front row of seats for arrivals, a dozen other people sitting in rows spread out behind me. A guy sits next to me munchi... [read more]

Hi Mom, I just dropped anchor in Nassau, where you will be flying in two weeks thanks to our hero of logistics, brother Wayne. You will love it. I had a good but very-hard trip, 4 hours sleep in 40, dozens of sail changes and hundreds of adjustments, reefs, and ass-puckering gnarly passes with big breaking waves. But The Gypsy Soul also sailed aquamarine waters that matched the sky, with les... [read more]

It's been a week and time again for a Mom missive, Windless sweaty days have driven Ryan and I into the water, snorkeling and wreck exploring. We've spent some time at motor on glassy seas without swell, which though boring from a sailing standpoint gave us the opportunity to visit rarely tenable anchorages. Lobster had been on the menu several times, sushi/sashimi daily as well, lots of fresh ... [read more]

A new dawn Hi Mom and Friends, I can see Turks and Caicos, the Island of Provedencia, and all's well. It seems as though the end of an era, even when arriving in a new country. Ryan is flying in this evening for all-you-can-eat Sushi, and to sail with me to the Bahamas. I received several emails from friends wishing me Hap-B-Day, and thanks to all, glad you enjoyed the read, it was a real... [read more]
