Anthem Adrift

April 5

Boqueron is a fun place, enhanced by amigos veleros. With start of weeklong holiday, nubile young college girls pranced about in itty bitty costumes enjoying the attention of lustful college boys. The terms 'perky' and 'cleavage' come to mind. Rich and Angela will appreciate.

Today's itinerary is depart anchorage 0500, round Cabo Rojo (SW corner of the island) at first light and arrive Gilligan's Island (Cayos de Cana Gorda) before trades pickup mid-morning. Traveling with Double Dutch and Inspiration Lady at least to Ponce (PONE-say), tomorrow's destination. Others leaving Boqueron area a day or more behind.

Very benign wind and sea forecast through Wednesday, then not. Currently squinting into morning sun from the cockpit sipping French press coffee as the south coast of Puerto Rico glides gently past.

"Mar Caribe". Says so right on the chart. Cool!

Drinks at 1630 on Inspiration Lady after day of ease. Tomorrow, sleep in until 0600 for 15 NM hop to Ponce for two day stay. Cars to rent, groceries to buy, marine supplies to get. Work, work, work! Or not. Haven't actually had a good night's sleep since Luperon about a month ago. Tonight's the night, tonight's the night! (punch line to naughty joke. Thanks, Pat).

Extra:	While I will be delighted if anyone else enjoys these excursions into semi-intelligible foolishness, the primary purpose is personal amusement. This is not travelogue, cruising guide or philosophical exploration of anything in particular, merely random musing of a slightly twisted mind. Despite [...] what, to most sane, rational readers, is obtuse verbiage and obscure references, I'm often aware of what I mean and occasionally enjoy a resultant chuckle. Comments section below each entry may be used for those wishing to, oddly enough, comment or just say hello. If you become enraged by anything included herein, writing to express your righteous indignation will be particularly appreciated. Although the unhealthy urge to associate with anyone who can write this stuff should probably not be encouraged (professional help is recommended) an email address has been created for the purpose of providing an additional outlet to express incredulity: "disgraceful.twaddle@gmail.com". Use of this address will continue until it is overwhelmed with spam. If for some recondite reason long-term contact is wished, please request a more permanent, not widely published address. If you wish contact while we're off the grid (this happens with some regularity) request our Sailmail (HF radio) address. Incoming email is warmly solicited, attachments accepted (except on Sailmail). Expect a reply unless otherwise requested. If none forthcoming I have probably messed up so play it again - with feeling. More
