I apologize again

For all those who got spammed with 30+ emails from this account, I apologize. Again. It seems that when I went in — with a new password — to set up email posting so I could send things from our SSB at sea, it enabled whatever/whoever to spam post to Read more →

New Template

From Raquel, one of Terry’s other clients (http://nitewriter6.blogspot.com/) I learned about Blogger’s free templates. I know, I know: I should have figured these out long ago; I’m a little slower than most. So, let me know how you like this one. I’ve also changed the template for our sailing blog Read more →

Rewriting

I don’t know about you, but I think writing a piece, letting it lie dormant, and then going back with fresh eyes is a great idea. When I first wrote/rewrote/edited/rewrote Sailing Out of Darkness, I listened to a lot of folk who had various things to say about it. Cut Read more →

In Guaymas Again

Leaving Bahia San Carlos. Kaisen, an 85′, 90 ton, steel converted Army work boat owned by Hugh and Victoria, is in the foreground. Heading to Guaymas into the rising sun. We may regret this move to Guaymas. Granted, it lets me walk with friend Diane from Daydreamer. And we’re closer Read more →
