Nathan in the Grove!
January 7, 2009
Good Morning Friends,
Just wanted to touch base with all of you and let you know my status.
I’ve got a busy day today to getting ready to step the mast and launch. The boat will be launched on the high tide around 3:30.
I’m doing pretty well. Dirty and tired but alright. The marina I’m at is not really set up for me and there are no real showers or anything so that is a mission for later today. I feel a large contrast between myself and all the pretty people in Coconut Grove.
I’m at burger king right now bumming a hotel internet connection, so my communication may be sporadic. I’ll just be working on the boat for most of the day.
I’m trying not to use too much data on my phone in the US because it is very expensive. I am reading incoming mail but am trying to keep my usage down. Watching the weather.
THanks again for all of your help and enthusiasm. I wouldn’t be here without you.
Warm regards,
n
