20 days, shoulda' been 18, 2000 miles later...

And they're OFFFFFFF!!!!! Crash, roll, oww, spill, bang, creekk, THIS IS AWESOME!!!
The art of cooking pancakes is not to be taken lightly, and requires the utmost patience, understanding and experience. The water and powder mix must be stirred and your aim with the pam spray must be exact, and, ummmm...that's it.
Pseudo-Intellectual Urban Revolutionary, or PIUR, enjoys his leatherbound copy of the literary classic "Two Years Before the Mast". The question is, how long will, or even can, this look last at sea?
Whew, man o man, not long. However, in his defense, there was a very engaging article in there on "Race in America", as well as a very in-depth interview with Steve Carrell, and an amazing photo essay about "who was at Hef's house last month". So, I'd say he just has to answer for the Smurf theme.
Ohh deeaary me, now this is a simply refulgent setting....
Tie down the main sail when we had too much wind and were only running the jib.
I said, we TIE DOWN THE MAIN! Rich can do it without looking, what gives?
Paaaaaatience young Jedi.
Clouds are cooooooool.
The start of our doldrums 300 miles out. Just a head dunk for now, thank you, will dunk the whole bucket later.
Ahhhh the aroma of moldy water. Water bags got mold in them from all the hot weather, so had to boil water. No wind AND a boil water advisory, and NO Ontario PC politicians to blame for it. ARRRRRGHH.
Nothing else to do but read and sing: "He's a tanning, tanning, tannnnnning, he's tannin' machiiiiiiine, watchem' get down, watchem' get down...bom chicka bom bom chicka chicka...skin cancer might commme to take his lllllliiiiiife, but at least he'll be fullll, full of that viiiitamin DDDDDDDDD...
"Alright god, now listen up. I don't like you, and you sure as hell...ahh damn, sorry...don't like me, but have i got a deal for you. If you could make the wind blowww, well now i am not promising anything, but i just miiiight think about making an appearance in one of your worship buildings etc.. Cross myself, sing, throw holy water, Hail Marys, back flips (they did it in Blue Bros?), you name it, i'll do it. Whaddaya say?" BUT, the wind STILL didn't blow.

"Hey stereotypical image of god. Jeff says you are just some mythological creature, like Neptune and Poseidon, but i am not like him. I'm a nice guy. I need to get his crazy ass to land, he's losing it man. And me, well i am normally patient and collected, but this lack of wind is making me a little pissed off myself from time to time...so how about, ol buddy, how about some wind?"

"HA HA, he listened to me. The wind picked up last night and brought us in to Maui. God exists, at least for today!" I maintain it was because it was the night of Canada day.
Isn't wind beautiful? Yes, i know you can't see it, but i can.
Lahaina is a nice site on the best of days, buttttt ohhhhh baby, does it look good on July 2nd.
