Here is what you get when you place jaws, an astronaut and some super heroes in one room. Click on this picture for the complete folly. First let aboard the Audax yesterday was awesome, check it out at the site www.caribbeanendeavour.com. What is new in the life of John and the greater world we live in…loose end tie up, final goodbyes, figuring out if I shall keep this site active whilst away, making sure homes are in order, stock trading, boat issues, outfitting, pizza party in West Point last night, great night in Rockland with Erin at sweet bed and breakfast, standard fare I would say.

So, the decision to keep this blog running concurrent with the new and exciting CaribbeanEndeavour.com, hmmmm..  do I have enough to write about, does it make sense, what is the purpose, intent, meaning and reason for communication, why do we strive so hard to reach as many people as possible in this day and age, questions with so many answers in so many different books and resources by so many different authors, minds, philosophies!  A couple pictures from 07  and 06 work weekends at Neph, perhaps the most wonderful place in my memory to date although the Caribbean may surely give it a run for its money!   Keep on rocking in the free world and if you are reading this the post below is new with a great quote that I had forgotten to upload

Well, a rainy Saturday AM here in Bath as I prepare to embark up the coast to Rockland with Sverre to work upon the Audax. I finally got pictures up at our site so take a look for those that are interested www.caribbeanendeavour.com. The quote above was sent to me by Erin and is one of the best I have seen in quite a while. In this life there are people who complain about everything and there are those that roll with the punches. It seems more so our generation is the complainers and the older ones are less so but in the dynamic world we live in, it is never too late to change Mind set and attitude, perception and knowledge. Read a great story by Scot at his website about vanity and perception taken after reading Huxley, a British author I do believe. Finally got the photo section working again so check out the Fall Days and summer picts recently added. Go Sox and Patriots….

The lawn was shaved, the wings were cooked, the budweisers were cracked, hmmm this used to be mountain dew 10 years prior :)  and the game was on. Full of fun filled crocquing competition, kisses to the victors of our most excellent tournement Cohen and Kastro!  Congratulations my friends but watch out for next time around.   10 years and it seemed like just yesterday, what a great joy to experience with great friends from a past life for sure not forgotten.  The official reunion, far better than could ever be expected and I must say I am very blessed to have such great people to experience life with.  Hopefully you can see all the happy, perhaps wine and beer induced but nonetheless…. A night in the city, a night at the nauga nest, many subway rides, multiple trains and buses and back to Maine, back to boats, back to insurance problems, read about them at www.caribbeanendeavour.com   

Hearing my most recent blog being read aloud at my grandmothers funeral was an interesting and unique experience making me realize the value and powerfulness of wonderful words.  As I agonize now as to where to write, being the creation of a new site and blog for our Caribbean trip.  www.CaribbeanEndeavour.com with the hope that Steve and Jordi shall add as much meaningful and important content about our exploits  the balancing of multiple platforms seems to be a common thread throughout life.  Boat survey tomorrow,read about it at the other site and then 10 year high school reunion this coming weekend, a busy and action packed time ahead…  Thanks to all who came to show the love for my grandmother and our family…
