Are you kidding? Out here in So Cal the only place getting any surf is T-street, San Clemente and its only 2 feet there. If you don't want any of those swells I'll take them. Lol! Anyway I wanted to know how you are doing and recieving your school in the middle of the ocean? I'm homeschooled and that sounds a little rough (writing wise).<br />A.R.T.L.D.R.<br />Michael Sheetz<br />Mission Viejo, So.

I worked at the Canal for several years as PR director (now do PR for Dell).<br />Chuck Cohen sent me info about your adventure and it will be fun to help out any way I can while you are here, including setting up some media coverage that might help generate sponsor support!<br />Wishes for great sailing and weather,<br />MercedesPanamamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379905716418589008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496489450166516267.post-91516869134490722802009-04-24T11:02:00.000-07:002009-04-24T11:02:00.000-07:00Zac, good man,
Your title is 'Looking Forward'. ...Zac, good man,<br /><br />Your title is 'Looking Forward'. Aren't you always looking forward? I think yes. It is pointless to look backwards unless one is going that way! Damn the torpedos and full speed ahead!<br /><br />There is some discussion of what to do with Intrepid when your voyage is complete. My, what a painful decision that will be. What does one do with a good horse that has taken you over the mountains and across the desert? If her marginal utility after it's over does not warrant keeping her as a sailing vessel -- or as a home (!), have her gilded or bronzed. What a lawn ornament she would make. After the successful book and movie, consider commissioning a special home built around a special fireplace that would accommodate her on the mantel. <br /><br />Whatever ... be safe, be healthy, and stay happy. Nothing else really matters. <br /><br />The CroakerCroaker of FrogPondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668084787671523377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496489450166516267.post-82220580919446825272009-04-24T08:57:00.000-07:002009-04-24T08:57:00.000-07:00I just hit the "Donate" button for the second time...I just hit the "Donate" button for the second time since Zac left CA.

It all sounds a little more exciting than yesterday. As long as you're making good miles all must be well in Zac Land (ocean).<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend sailing but in your case you might not even know its the weekend.

Hopefully you didn't end up with a sopping mess!<br /><br />What do you think you will do with "Intrepid" once you're home? I think if she were mine I'd keep her forever and use her to teach others to sail ~~~_/)<br /><br />I'm hoping we will be able to view your passage through the Panama Canal via web cams. How neat would that be ?!<br /><br />Still sanding away on my boat. Hopefully I will get to the point where I can paint this weekend. Sailing season is soon to start here...offically Memorial Day weekend. Some of my friends (hi Dick) have their boats in but aren't quite ready to sail yet. It's supposed to be in the 80's here, so maybe some of my sailing buddies will be inspired to get sailing!!<br /><br />Be safe Zac, and yes again I'll say have fun!<br /><br />Remember God's angels are about you, be still and listen as He always has the answer to every question <><<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Anita <br />Waterloo, NY<br />Captain SV "Wombat"Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457329252254252967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496489450166516267.post-31229412441968324932009-04-23T22:01:00.000-07:002009-04-23T22:01:00.000-07:00Date's wrong on the latest position :-) Zac's into...Date's wrong on the latest position :-) Zac's into Friday already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
