progress?

Capt Goodlander has se good advice for those of us that feels mile away from their cruising goal:-
    "Do not give up, hold your course."
   "Just keep at it. Plug away, baby steps".
   " It tales a leap of faith to beliece that you can succeed where so many other well intentioned people have failed - that you can actually be free".

I now have a notebook to record that one step, or more, that I have dome each day to walk towards my goal. Unfortunately times two for me though; my boat is 300k away, as a single dad I am bogged down with a house, farm, several cars and the care of three dependents. So on days like today my step will look nothing like sailing, my head
buried under the Land Rover. It doesn't directly relate to my sailong dream, but I  am continually rolling my Boat Jobs List around in the front of my mind. 

 My preferred means of transport. To visit the boat, I have a lightweight inflatable dinghy in my pack.

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
