Well friends, since I last posted, a lot has happened to me personally, professionally and nauticaly. I won't bore you with all the details but here's a thumbnail sketch.

I had another surgery, recorded a solo-CD and moved my boat from New Bern to Wrightsville Beach. When I moved to Wrightsville it was with an eye toward staying here indefiintitely but that plan has now changed. To once again quote Al Sweringen from Deadwood, "Announcing your intentions is a great way to hear God laugh!" You guessed it, those plans involved a woman and that went "blooey!"

The good news is, I plan to resume my travels in a few weeks. Right now my plan is to prepare for departure after returning from Key West around the second week of November. The basic plan is to head back to Florida and to perhaps cross to the Bahamas for at least part of the winter.

I will need to stay stateside for a good portion of the winter in order to play shows to promote my new CD. Anyway, as my travels resume, so will my blog postings. I apologize for the long absence and I will endeavor to keep you up to date in a more timely fashion from now on.

Here's a pic from my trip from New Bern to Wrightsville. A house I have admired everytime I've passed it over the last few years.
