White Pepper is back online in Marathon Harbor on Christmas Eve. The weather is absolutely gorgeous. Fair, warm, dry, gentle breeze--amazing. The taxi driver says it's like this all the time. The only problem is that the we-fi is spotty. I was able to pirate free service from KR1 last night but his signal is too low now. I signed up for a paid for service ($10/day), but they are intermittent at best.
We have received several complaints about posting comments. To post a comment click on the tiny entry at the bottom of the post which says "comments." Apparently, I have to review all of the comments at my e-mail address. I will be more diligent about checking it from now on. I did approve 5 comments for the next to last post. Thanks. Keep trying. One major problem seems to be getting an identity for the comment. If you have a g-mail account or know how to enter a URL--no problem with the comment process. I found that pushing the anonymous button lets the comment go through with little hassle. Please sign the comment then so I know who sent it. Also I will somehow have to migrate the e-mail to g-mail.com soon. The swbell.net address will die. Also frequent visitors are encouraged to use the "feed" option.

What a small world! Just after running aground in the muck of Boot Key Harbor (Marathon) who should be the first boat by but Chuck Miller. Chuck is a friend and well known yachtsman from Corpus Christi. He pushed us off with with 25 horse dingy. Thanks. Then standing in line at West Marine I met Jess Still. Jess is married to Cindy, one of Jan's friends from Corpus Christi.
Peace on earth, happy Christmas to all.

Karl, I hardly recognised you in this picture. Is this what we can expect from now on. I'm thrilled to witness the change in progress. Bruce and I had another near change of heart when we contacted a boat seller about a 40 ft. Endeavour set up to cruise. We had just about decided to do it when we "came to our senses?!?" We'll see how you and Jan do then revisit in a while. Our Townhouse pays off on 9/1/15 at current rate... Love Tammy
testing again joe
the narrative is great!!!.... i feel as if i was there in the big storm and it harkens me back to the adventures of the SANDRAGOON when a rag tag team of two with no electronic navigation and no effective auto pilot and no life raft!... encountered a similar storm on the infamous 28 day sojourn to the south gulf in Jan of 90......perhaps the crew of the WHITEPEPPER can better appreciate the bar room tales of the sole surviving member of the team who drifts aimlessly from bar to bar in search of respect of his fellow sailers....etc etc.... THE BLOG IS GREAT.....we will be following closly joe
