STORM WATCH
Hi All,
Been a tense couple of days out here as there was a large tropical low developing over me. It’s looks like it’s going to turn into a proper cyclone today but the good news is it’s now projected to track south and away from me.
Been sitting more or less in the same spot of Guandalcanal the last day or so as all the wind seems to have been sucked away. The sunrises have...

In other news, I’m pleased to report my first shark siting. As the sun came up this morning, the water was still as glass and I could...

So Long, Salvador
I’m listening to the sounds on stamps slamming on paper as I write this toyou to say I’m cleared out and southbound. I’ll work on putting together anice summary of my time here, it’s all still swirling through my head at themoment. Costa del Sol and the River Lempa have treated me well, but it’stime to keep moving. 300 or so miles down to Costa Rica, check in with...

WEEKEND UPDATE AKA LET'S GET SOME FUN
Hey Dudes
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
Another very eventful one down here. Saturday I spent much of the AM in thelittle workshop Santos has behind their house here.

The boys (Santos’ teenagedbrothers-in-law), Cheke and Ronny, gave me a hand with alot...
