Just a quick update ... Changabang is still in Half Moon Bay. Todd and I have gone out a couple of times, which was good. I am starting a new job in a week or so. What comes next, I'm not sure ...

Good day,

My friend with his drones is asking if someone would like to take them aboard so they can sail/motor along and do more drone shots. Dad and 16 years old. Very safety oriented.
Anyone willing to...

As things are going it's likely that I'll just leave from HMB, go under the bridge, and turn around. Unless maybe someone has a contact at the GGYC or SFYC, and maybe the YC would be willing to offer...

Lots of >70 years old circumnavigating. One won the GGR; one holds the record of wrong way circumnavigation. Why hesitate? One gets old when one stops acting young, uh?

I'd venture something on...

Most of us have no cabin heaters. Has anyone tried ways to stay warm?
I've read about using a hot water bottle in the sleeping bag. I'm not a fan as this requires fuel.
There are 12V heating...

Thanks for looking at this Ragnar.

Asking for help ...
