Here's a shot of where I'll be spending alot of time, once I cut those pesky docklines.
My tour is coming to an end here in the Philippines!!! I've been flying helicopters, working-out, reading and dreaming of the day I go cruising.
I ordered some wall maps to Plot a Course to Adventure... hey that sounds like a good title for my videos... what do you thing? I ordered a new Canon VIXIA HF20 HD Dual Flash Memory camchorder and will soon have the dive housing to get those nasty weather shots and beautiful under the sea shots! Stay tuned! I also ordered a waterproof digital still camera (Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 12 MP Digital Camera) for the same reasons... I plan on combining two of my three favorite things... Photography and Sailing!!! ;)
Speaking of videos... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND both of Alex Dorsey's ProjectBlueSphere.com DVD's!!! (click his link on the right) He did an outstanding job taking us from Mystic CT USA to Panama, thru the Panama Canal and on to the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific. If you do order his DVD's for yourself or someone that loves the idea of cruising... tell Alex 'Rick Sent ya!' :)
I will be updating my site as often as I can... the prep work, the cutting of the dock lines, and of course the mishaps.. I mean the adventures along the way!!!
Cheers from Zamboanga, Mindanao, Philippines
