It’s even a fine day here in Port Townsend, WA! We’re moored at the Naval Magazine Indian Island, and I have the midwatches so that means after working from midnight to eight I toddle down the gangway in search of breakfast, free wi-fi, and decompression.

Overdue for relief now – a guy actually came out to relieve me but the other Third Officer had a sister with cancer who took a turn for the worse, so he took off and I’m still here. Them’s the breaks – it isn’t as if he had his sister get sick just to take my relief, you know, and rushing to a sibling’s deathbed is in no way a good deal.

So I’m waiting for another guy to come out, and I can take a month off, work around the house, and judging from the weather take the top off my Samurai.

Stay safe there, sailor! And my prayers are with that family.

We are having a wonderful day here in PA! Typical spring with sun and a gentle breeze.

For a guy who has been to the White House, he certainly doesn’t sound like Obama …

“The success in bailing out the system on the previous occasion led to a superbubble, except that in 2008 we used the same methods,” he [George Soros] told a meeting hosted by The Economist at the City of London’s modern and impressive Haberdashers’ Hall. “
Unless we learn the lessons, that markets are inherently unstable and that stability needs to the objective of public policy, we are facing a yet larger bubble.
“We have added to the leverage by replacing private credit with sovereign credit and increasing national debt by a significant amount.”

Funny, this is pretty much the same message that the Tea Partiers have been sending.

I guess Soros was having that rare moment of clarity.

I will be going to DC~ hope to see a lot of fellow patriots there!
