Hola Amigos.
Debbie and I have had an amazing summer traveling 4500 miles on our Yamaha FJR with a trailer in tow. Now if we did not show up at your house this year just know your not safe as next year might be the one. Debbie pretty much took over the planning on the trip and when she was done the trip was going to take three months, Whoops!! So we had to pass on some stops as there were just way to many but you can be assure all of you were thought about and talked about if you reside in the USA.
Check out our blog at www.sailorsrun.com as we have posted some pictures of our trip. We are happy to report we only went down twice and no one was injured.
As for now I’m preparing Sailors Run for the next great adventure. You might say “what” well don’t even think about it as it will happen. I’m currently 5 years out from being grown up enough to set the worlds record for the oldest person “Ever” to circumnavigate the world solo, non stop unassisted via the 5-“great capes”. So guess what I’m trying to get the Sailors Run back in top condition to do such a thing, and it looks like a long haul to accomplish all that must be done. As you all know I have tones of testosterone and not nearly the money that is needed. One of the problems is just trying to be recognized by the British that seem to control these records.
Just a thought please share my two books with family and friends at Christmas as that is truly away to help keep the adventures coming.
Well just be assured I will do it and the boat will be ready. The plan is to sail out of Mexico in the spring of 2027 and arrive in Port Townsend Washington where I plan to haul the boat and do final preparations for the voyage. I will depart October of 2027 at ge 81 and hopefully return at age 82 back to Washington State, with the new record.
Right now I’m working on the boat in all ports a long the Mexican gold coast and enjoying warm times in Mexico. All appears to be well here and I just installed 800 dollars worth of batteries to keep the house bank fired up and they are doing well.
I could really use some sponsorship for sails, auto pilot and at least a rebuild on my Monitor wind vane, but rest assured this adventure will happen if Debbie and I have to cash in our “Beer Cans” and you are all invited to ride along.
