What a deal on a great bag!!

It was indeed.

“Don’t have to understand everything … to believe they’re entitled to respect and human dignity.”

This.

A photo of 3 boxes of numbers. Top left reads “5.57” which is current boat speed. Top right is cut off reading “2…” which is our heading. And the all important bottom left reads “S 00.00.176, W086.07.396”. We’ve crossed the equator, a milestone that’s earned us the nickname of Shellback. Only 3300 miles to go to French Polynesia!

Pollywogs no more!

Day 7 of this passage is pretty epic. I’m sending daily updates via email if you want to see the mundane unfold.

100% right.

Good. Why should he have a vacation when he’s done no work?

Also get out of my state.

Sunset photo overlooking approaches to the Panama Canal, a dredge ship coming out. Text superimposed says “destination: Hiva Oa, Marquesas”. We’re headed out on a major ocean passage on our small sailboat!

Off we go… 4-6 weeks at sea.

Good wind vibes appreciated.

This is about our collective humanity.

It feels like a slow motion train wreck, with gleeful engineers making it happen. Today sped it up by a factor of 20.

I’m shocked that anyone sees it differently.

Hope we remembered everything!!

Be there, then walk out en masse as soon as his first lie flies.

He’s a father. Of small children. Who are watching this. Omg.

He’s evil.

“We believe in democracy.”

Now if only some refucklicans would start doing that.

The bookshelves of a small sailboat have been commandeered by baskets of fresh vegetables. Preparing for a 4+ week ocean passage is not for the faint of heart.

Provisioned up.

Also. #resist. Also #fucktrump.

Not for long.

Stop listening to constituents because you don’t want to hear their concerns.

“Sorry, boss, I’m not interested in what you have to say.”

I’m doing what I can to fight from here. I’m so angry with those who continue to support what’s going on.

Putting this here.

Social security, disappearing fast.

A catamaran points north, towards the Panama Canal, behind the point of land that defines the la Playita anchorage. Sunset colors glow above a mountain-shaped cloud bank. For once, there are no ships visible in the canal approaches.

Diesel, gasoline, water all full. Propane tank out for refilling. Last provisioning runs tomorrow.

Now we wait for weather.

“Make no mistake: This order transforms federal spending by taking it away from Congress, where the Constitution placed it, and moves it to the individual who sits atop the Department of Government Efficiency.”

Dangerous development.

When the government is actively working against the best interests of Americans.

It’s only going to get worse.

Sunset shimmers the hills behind a boat-studded waterfront. The photo is framed with palm trees to the left and overhead.

Feels pretty good to have this stockpile!!

A fact many like to disregard is that undocumented immigrants PAY TAXES.

As opposed to, say, the orange turd and the billionaire ass whose feet he kisses.

This is perfect.

@balint.house.gov what noise are you making? Where do we make noise other than calling our reps ?
