And so ends one of the more trying, ridiculous periods of my life. My foray into Holland ended awkwardly with me flying home after 6 days. I thought things were going well but I was given flights home with no reasoning. To say I was furious is an understatement. Two months of wasted time, countless […]
So for the last 48 days I have been engaged in a long waltz of sorts. This dance has been a recruitment jig of epic proportions. The latest step sees me flying for London tonight to meet an owners representative. If this goes well I should be in Holland at the end of the week […]
Knock knock. It’s been a while. Some major page turning in my life underway at the moment and I will share that with you shortly. In the mean time I thought I would share an incredible insomnia cure which helps when you have more than a few thoughts on the mind. For the past year […]
Just a few words I wrote for my Dad turning 70. Welcome all to Wally’s 70th. I am Wally’s son Daniel. Although I am not an accomplished orator like my father; I do like to tell stories it is usually to smaller groups or to myself. Most of you know Wally as Wally. I know […]

For my next trick I will fly to Vancouver then travel north into Alaska by floating office. I will catalog this period with a few photographs and choice whitticisms. After Alaska we will travel south to Seattle, Washington. Seattle Washington is not to be confused with White house Washington. I may have thought they were […]
I thought it was about high time I wrote about being at home. This is the first time I have been at home in a colder part of the year since 2009. I am still not a fan of the cold although it has been nice to have an excuse to pursue the finer things […]
There has been a bit of water under my keel since my last correspondance. I hope this fills the gap. After the Galapagos we made a quick trip across to Manzanillo, Mexico. It was an opportunity to change out some crew and get some fuel. I was dragged off the boat protesting for a dinner […]
