There are over a million books for sale in the Kindle format, so to say I’m pretty excited about cracking into the top 1000 would be a major understatement. We sailed (err, motored) over to Yelapa today. Yelapa is a small town accessible only by water. We grabbed a mooring … Read More
Not Scrooges
Had drinks on the beach with some friends, and as we tend to do whenever somebody who actually knows how to handle a camera is around we rallied the troops for family photos. And just to show that we’re not total Scrooges, there’s a couple shots of our Christmas decorations … Read More
The Whole Family
