Where's the outrage?

That floating pile of junk in the foreground?  Someone lives there.  We met him.  Probably certifiable lunatic but he has a sense of humor and is engaging.
The mega yacht in the background, all shrink wrapped to keep it free of dust?  No one lives there though it probably could sleep and feed dozens of people.  Another person owns that one.  A very very rich person who may use the boat (ship) on occasion.
That is America today.  It makes me sick!  Where is the outrage?  Makes me want to support Bernie.

Weather looks good for crossing tomorrow night.  Hope to go all the way to Bell Channel and Lucaya if we can stay awake.  About 75 nautical miles at 6 to 6.5 knots.

I lost all confidence in our 35 year old 25 pound battery charger.
So yesterday I changed it out for a new, 8 pound charger.  What a difference!  Putting out 13 volts and 50 amps.  Yay!  Cold beer!
 I know.  I have to clean up the wiring.

In the Bahamas we will hope to have wifi so our phones will work.  Calls can always be made on What'sApp.  We hope to find meaningful opportunities to help rebuild some small piece of Grand Bahama.

Thanks for tuning in.  We have had more than 3000 views of this blog since the beginning.

What? You mean you’re not supporting Bernie?

Have a great last day in the mainland… Good luck tonight…

Nice to hear about the Wi-Fi. Talk soon.

Cold beer now replaced by cold champagne! Bon voyage and Happy New Year! Suzanne

Hopefully, you’ve arrived safely by now?
