Scuttlebutt and SV Apolima

This past weekend Paulette and Art and Gary and Myself went to "Fly Over China" and  "Fly Over Canada".  What an amazing show, if you could call it that.  It is a mid-way ride, a plane ride and a 3 D movie all wrapped up in one.  Absolutely fantastic cinematography, a concept that  blew me away, we were sitting out over a 60 foot abyss flying through the air.  Basically, hang on and enjoy the ride.  After the first 3 minutes I wanted out!  I don't do roller coasters and only have a working relationship with planes, which means that unless necessary I will drive.  But there was no out, my seat belt was strapped in, and I don't do 60 foot leaps into space,  so "suck it up and buckle down and enjoy".  Krista, Joshes girl friend said to look for the top of the screen when you feel nervous.  I couldn't find it!  Of course if I had opened my eyes maybe it would have been there, but the whole 60 foot screen just wrapped around me...

Found this on "women who sail" and thought it was really great. Figure I should save this in case I ever get bored. 100 Things to Do on a Boat Posted on   January 15, 2015   by   Jeffrey Margaret and I are always amazed by how many people post on CruisersForum, Liveaboard Cruisers, and other online venues asking how people keep from getting bored while at anchor or on a long passage. When aboard, we are always hunting for more time, not more things to fill our time with. So, we decided to put together a list of one hundred things to do while on a boat. For the most part, we avoided anything that involved the internet or leaving the vessel, attempting to stay true to the original queries that spawned this list. At first, we thought a list of a hundred things might be a little ambitious, but we brainstormed it quickly enough that we are sure you could add another hundred easily.

Hi, one of my favourite programs is the Shaklee 180.  I must admit that I haven't been all that faithful for the whole year  Last summer and fall I lost 40 pounds, using the program very faithfully, documenting everything in the 180 program on my I-pad, etc. and then we went back to Canada and I got into junk food again.  Still used my Smoothie most days for breakfast and went thru loads of snack bars, but also lots of hamburgers and fries.  Oops,  came back 12 pounds heavier, not enough exercise, in fact no exercise to speak of.  So here I am again, have to loose those 12 plus probably 50 more, but am motivated again. So am looking for some friends to join me and get motivated as well.  The program works marvellously, as the video will tell you, and you really do feel great; and you can have a hamburger or two along the way. pms.yourfreedomproject.com/seven-big-secrets-to-weight-loss

Shaklee Pure Performance at 2014 Shaklee Live For anyone who is interested in the sports aspect of Shaklee, this is a great paper on the presenters at the convention in Aug.  Always great to hear about successes.

                                                                  Really found this info quite useful.  Have found that a number of my friends are having problems with joint pain, and this seems to sum up some misconceptions.   Reducing these foods from your diet and adding a great supplement like Shaklee's Vitalizer will help keep you active a lot longer. Shall talk about coconut oil next time, because it is my new "magic bullet". Every day, millions of people have a hard time exercising because of shoulder, knee, back and elbow pain. What most people -- and even most doctors -- don't know   is that one of the major causes of pain is actually... food. Here’s what you should focus on removing from your diet if you want to double your recovery process and get pain-free faster than with j...

Where to start.  So much has happened in the last year that I am at a loss for a starting point.  But shall share a really interesting Utube video, that might interest anyone with an interest in Alzeimers. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=ZZOR-Qd3QSg Paulette sent this to me today and I just had to share it. We are back in Baja for a couple of weeks and enjoying it a lot!  Just had a real high when we drove in and saw all the beautiful clear water, and the sun, and our boat floating just where it should be.  Has been fun getting it all cleaned up, the bad storm that they had early in March left parts of leaves and debris on the decks, and sand and dust everywhere down below, but what the hay, we have lots of time to clean it up.  Spent the morning sitting in the cockpit  drinking coffee  amid all the boxes and bags that we had dragged out of the truck last night.  And I refused to feel guilty about it! We are sorry to see that Puerto E...
