Heat Breed laziness

Heat breeds laziness:

 Or is it just me.  The cabin is 90 degrees and even tho I just got out of the water from doing my laps I am already puddling on the floor.  I find it even a challenge to get into the water because I have to change clothes.

This is the summer of diet and exercise, and it will be my last chance.  I think I have done this every year since I was 16 and nothing seems to last for very long.  But this last weight problem has been going on for 25 years, and altho I have lost a few and then gained more I am giving it one more really big push.  I joined the Shaklee 180 plan, and am just finishing the 3rd week, and so far so good.  Since I have to record all my stuff, I am loath to have a blank where it says "exercise" so even if it is 9pm I am out there doing my laps.  So far I am up to 600 feet, (approx) which means 6 times around the boat, up one side and down the other, so of like a lap pool without sides to bump into. Altho I did manage to hit the anchor chain one day.

Gary has left for the summer to deal with our condo and do some driving up north, so I am on my own.  Am enjoying Coronado anchorage, it is a bit lonely, but I am sure that some other boats will eventually turn up.  This is definitely not where the "in" crowd hangs out for the summer.  But then I also don't have to worry about my wardrobe!Shaklee 180

Wandering the Marshall Islands

Some Scuttlebutt from the Marshall Islands We have been out and about for the past 4 months visiting some of the atolls in the Marshall Islands, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a good hurricane/cyclone hideout.  Checking out the Likiup atoll. The first place we all go is to Majuro, which is the check in port for yachts coming mostly from the south. But don't let yourself get stuck here, and miss the other atolls. I know how easy it is, there is a Tues. night yachties night out, and it seems hard to get away when Tues is coming up soon. Also shipping boat parts and even coffee in from the US is relatively cheap because of the US postal service here. So many distractions that keep us all tied to buoys. But drop the buoy and go exploring. it is really worth it. The atolls are all really different. They have had a variety of influences. Woje and Maleolap in particular played a large part in the wars, so there are sunken ships and planes to

Shortfall on Pension Plans

Image
Gary was reading me “Thoughts from the Frontline” by John Mauldin this morning while we were sitting in the cockpit and I was drinking my coffee. Normally I don't pay 100 % before coffee, but a couple of things hit me while I was listening. John goes on to talk about the USA cities and states primarily and the pension funds that have been promised to all government workers, and how they have all based their interest on their funds on 7% returns, and further with a lot of facts to back this up states that they are getting close to 3% return on their bonds and stocks. So the money has to come from somewhere, and it seems to be tied back to the taxpayers. Either the property owners or the state taxes. If you wish to read the entire article it can be found at http://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/promises-promises-pension-promises Normally I don't get too involved with the economics papers, sort of the lesse faire attitude, that what will be will
