Go Diego Go

I don’t know how we managed to get stranded here for so long. It is the least attractive and the least interesting spot we’ve been, yet a week later here we sit. Ouest still looks like she is on death’s doorstep, though she continues to act as if nothing is … Read More

Scarlet

Ouest has been sick the past few days; fevers, not eating, and then today a rash broke out all over her body and seemed to just keep getting worse and spreading to more and more places. She looked terrible by bed time but wasn’t complaining of any pain. We put … Read More

We didn’t do much today. Ouest was still not feeling all that great and none of us got any sleep last night, so today we just took it as easy as possible. Lowe is now standing straight up without any aids, balancing for ten seconds or so, and then taking … Read More

I Hate Boats

Leave a Comment

Today was one of those boat ownership days I’d rather forget about. It reminded me too much about why I hate boats. We noticed an hour or so into our motor north that the batteries weren’t charging right. The voltage was sitting at 12.3, way too low. I opened up … Read More
