shore time

Not gonna lie to you its been a difficult winter. I am almost to spring.  Hopefully some much needed shore time will allow me to key in some gritty reading.

It's not all bad. lol.

A Photo looking south from Plumper Cove Marine Park.  Taken first week in October.  At the moment I am in the middle of the cove on a bouy.  It's been a week and I am enjoying the quiet life or radio and reading.  At some point my Journal entries will be posted here I just need a few days of 24/7 internet. and a lot of coffee to type the handwritten journal entries which start in late june early july.  I left my berth up north June 1st. After  2 years with out work, living on the boat is the least expensive way to go.  imho.

My Journal

I will be posting my personal journal here soon. Again I make no apologies as I lay my soul bare. No attempt to make it more literary. Just a daily account of my struggle to survive this summer as a live aboard sailor with out any place to moor my boat. Read how I wage war with unemployment,homelessness, mother nature and my own Demons of depression and alcoholism. Read how I encounter mean people who chose to persecute me based solely on hearsay and rumor spread by my separated enemy of a wife.

Have done some sailing this summer. Staying pretty close to vancouver to look for work. no luck yet. Also I need some crew for crossing the straight. I single handed across last year was pretty boring. more fun with crew.

I have not posted to this blog for a long time. sorry. I am really just needing some kind of job. then I will be happy.

I did not get an inheritance I was expecting so my life has taken a turn for the worst. I still have the boat and of course my faith.

allah hafiz my friends.

poverty

Still really on hard times. No job still. surviving on shelter handouts. Chanting sutra's for japan and trying hard to be thankful I am still alive.

and yes its still raining like hell here on the coast.

happy new year

I can't believe I made it.

Another christmass and new year has passed. only a couple months until summer.
Still no decent job offers. and not getting interviews anymore. My business start up is going to take a lot longer as the government process is restrictive and massively under funded.

nothing like poverty and prayer.

winter

Been busy trying to develop a business plan and make use of a small business grant.

Living well below the poverty line but I haven't worked a day job in 14months.
Trying to stay healthy during the fall and winter season.

Family support is non existent. and Its looking like I may spend another Christmas alone.
and broke.
