I realize I've reached the time
That I must be selective
As to what my preferences will be.

I’ll continue to toss a coin
To determine the direction I should go.
Speed and haste will not be a concern,

My pace will remain slow,

I do not waste my energy
On things that can't be changed.
If I spent time on past mistakes,
I’ll have wasted precious time.

.
Life has much to offer
To each of us.
I hope to conquer many things
Before my time is done.

I spent the past four months sailing a 42' catamaran from the British Virgin Islands (BVIs) to, and through the Panama Canal, then northward to a private marina south of Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico.  Along the way we, I and might two hired hands Christian and Charlotte, stopped in Panama, Costa Rica and various ports in Mexico.  Lovely journey, with narrow brushes with tropical storms, one hurricane, choppy seas and fantastic downwind sailing.

Now back in Palm Springs, where I'm making repairs on my tiny home, as well as planning my next sailing adventure.  Holidays are arriving soon, and it will be great to be back in the SF Bay area meeting friends and family. 

Here are some photos from the ten week sail.
