Hello and goodbye. At least for now ...

Where in the World can you be that you can't get internet service ? Even 3rd World countries have internet service (otherwise we wouldn't be here Laughing

).

How about at Sea ? Yeah, that's right, I've returned to work. Pancreatic Cancer couldn't keep me down ... I have returned to work. I am working with a Boat Broker, delivering boats sold foreign. Most are going to Central and South America, and the Caribbean. My old stomping grounds ...

I am currently en route to the Island of Grenada, in the southeast Caribbean, about 2250 (nautical) miles distant.

I am going to miss this place, baiting and site-killing. I might not of set the record for most piggies in the shortest period of time, but I have helped set the bar Laughing

. I am proud of the fact that I have killed over 1,000 fake sites, in a lot less than 6 months.

I have met many wonderful people here, most I shall count as friends. Some of the people I shall miss are Beware419 and Capone, my two favorite mods, some of the best people a victim could meet, and the scourge of scammers ...

I'd say that I shall miss OP, my mentor, but why should I lie ?
Laughing

Anyway, I wish I didn't have to give up baiting and site-killing, at least for a couple of years, but it will have to be. When I retire (5 years), I shall be back. I will stop here when I am back from the Sea, just to keep up on things.

I shall post some pics from the Beach when I reach Grenada ...

If I saw that in an email I'd swear it was a lad. Very Happy

Lots of lads "at sea" haha

Seriously, glad you are doing better healthwise. We'll keep the lads warm for you. Safe travels.

Thank you for the shout-out: I am honored to have known you!

You are one tough customer and nothing can keep you down. Sail well and pay attention to your GPS. And visit-we'll be keeping the beer cold and a lad warm for your attentions.

The lads will still be here on your return.

You'll be back. Those fake banks aren't going to kill themselves.

Good to know that your health issues have sorted themselves out.

Boa viagem! And please check in when you're within earshot of an Internet connection.

Nice to hear that the cancer has been beaten back, may you continue to keep it beaten

Sorry to see you take a leave of absence, but given the employment, I don't blame you. Lucky bastard.

Please keep us posted, we like to know where our friends are.

Take care

You absolutely should be proud of those 1,000 site kills. It's certainly not easy to do.

Safe travels, good health, and hopefully you'll be back some day killing sites again.

So glad to hear how well recovered you are. Your piggies and site killings have been phenomenal. We shall miss you! But, sure you're happy to be back at work.

Thank you folks, it feels good to be appreciated. I will not be a stranger here. Of course, I love you all and hate to leave...

One thing that I notice though, almost everybody who has posted here has a custom title, except me. Oh well ...

Everything I learned about that area of the world, I learned in Panama. (close enough)

Every animal, plant and insect is trying their best to kill or maim you.

Head down and safe voyage.

Tugs, crew boats, utility boats and fishing boats ... The current delivery is a 34' fishing boat. I've never been scared whilst at Sea, but this one is worrisome, considering all the Tropical weather currently. I sure wish I'd chosen the 100' Tug going to Suriname, but because of the greater speed of the Tug, the paycheck would have been $2,000 instead of $4,000.

Wishing you all the best, Captu4ik. Drop in whenever you make port. Smile

A true friend, thank you, OP. Just don't tell her about Esther in St Marc's, Haiti, Flora in Banohora, Dom. Rep., Tracey in St Croix, VI, or the beautiful Grenadian woman I intend to meet today ...

We finally landed in our ultimate destination Monday, after stopping in all the above-mentioned places. I have some pics and some observations that I will post here soon ... 22 days at sea, 30+ days total.

Nice to see you're back on land, sounds like a fascinating trip already (and not just your antics in port).

Ahoy! Glad to see you!

If you bounced back from pancreatic cancer you are indeed among the chosen few. You deserve a bit of adventure. Carpe diem, my friend!

Ahoy (or Ahoj or a'oi)! Did you have any trouble talking with Dominicans? I find the accent of some of them hard to understand.
