I filled it out a while ago. Sad to hear you aren’t getting many responses! Definitely want to keep things active here!

I read it that way too. Needed your comment to figure it out!

Jennifer Lawrence had one line in an episode of Monk

Ooh I’ve been listening to Ska-P for years! Great band!

Where did you go? It’s definitely worth trying again if you have interest. I never really cared to get certified in the past but it has been absolutely amazing!

Still stuck and not moving anywhere. On the bright side we have been getting scuba certified. On the world’s second largest coral reef so it seemed like the right place to do it.

Done!

Jokes aside, I don’t think you need to find somebody else to do a logo. I like it!

I like this one. It looks great! Should we vote on it like we did with the flag and then stick with the current logo?

I like this one! Kimmy?

Why specifically boats? Are you trying to make money with this endeavour? Is there a specific type of boat you are looking to be on? If not maybe it would be worth going on Crewbay and looking for an experienced captain who is just looking for somebody to help with tasks along the way for a single leg in exchange for food. Start to build references and miles by doing this a few times, then the more you do it, the more you will find people willing to take you on board for longer periods of time and potentially pay you (pay would be more likely if you crew on the larger motor yachts).

I’ve had it and I liked it. I prefer little pickles like cornichons though and you can’t have both.

Thank you! It’s going to depend a lot on when we get the all clear to sail again and where we can get to before hurricane season kicks in as a result. We are hoping to still be able to get through the Panama Canal but it could be getting too late to head that way by the time we can leave.

Our dog got sick Jamaica, where we couldn’t get her treated so we have completely abandoned our plans of heading across the pacific this year and are now in Honduras. She is almost completely recovered from surgery now but it’s been slow progress. At least it’s beautiful here, not a bad place to be stuck!

Try L&T (lemon and Te Aroha) if you haven’t already. It’s still uniquely kiwi and tastes great! It came out im the 1800s. Got discontinued for a few decades but is back and worth the switch.

They are really small and not easy to see if they are on their own but I did see it from the boat. It almost looked like a piece of rubbish at first. Just a little clear tube with a red dot. I guess there are different species of salp and I don’t know which one I saw. Apparently their numbers play a role in climate change. They filter carbon from the ocean and prevent it entering the atmosphere.

I saw a salp yesterday. Not a chain of them, just a single one. I’d never seen one before…or maybe never noticed them. Either way it was cool to see.

I think on the original offending post, OP made some somewhat inflammatory comments about ADHD and Autism further down. I imagine the downvoter felt personally hurt by these comments, hence the temporary spree, driven mostly by emotion. I don’t agree with the vote manipulation but not knowing their full story I would caution against people coming across this and retaliating against this person. It seems like it was just a short response and hopefully they have had a chance to cool off now.

I’m surprised how far down I had to scroll to find this as an answer!

Yeah I’ve read accounts of it and I’m definitely a bit nervous! It’ll be an experience to remember for sure! Just up and down the East coast on my boat. I sailed to Bermuda on a different boat. That was a really cool place! Anchored beside the Statue of Liberty in my boat, which is something I never thought I would do!
