Oh

Chewing Wax:
I'll bring a case of vodka for personal comsumption too.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:52:33 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Should we have guns?
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:53:15 pm)

Heruka:
alcohol is the biggest enemy of the cruising sailor. people get hooked on the stuff majorly, then end up in some port just drinking for years on end while living in their run down boat. apparently, it's very comon.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:54:28 pm)

Heruka:
no guns. we'll out wit the pirates. they'll be dazzled by our ability to stay clear of problem areas.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:55:15 pm)

Heruka:
alcohol and whales running over sleeping whales is a problem too.

Chewing Wax:
I rented that last Matrix movie. And I'm watching 2001 A Space Odyssey. What a movie. The special effects are amazing.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:56:16 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Fuck. Whales? What about giant squids?
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:56:45 pm)

Chewing Wax:
We can sooth them with tales of quiet tranquility.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:57:02 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I like your plan. You seem to have the whole thing thought our nicely.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:57:54 pm)

Heruka:
I've seen the first Matrix. it was ok.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:58:04 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Yeh. It was okay. The second one suck donkey bits.

Heruka:
one of the guys on the Tartan owners email list ran over a whale last year coming from the Azores to the Carib. he was lucky. those things have been known to attack boats that hit them.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 8:59:04 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I also read about cargo boxes. The ones that fall off of boats. They're very hazardous.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:00:21 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Our boat will be small and harmless to the whales and squids. Barely noticeable to the pirates. We'll slip right through the danger and arive at the islands to a heroes welcome.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:01:34 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I'm going to bring a knife though.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:02:38 pm)

Heruka:
I don't think the sleeping whale will like to be run over by a 30 ft, 10k pound boat with 6ft of lead keel hanging down. that would hurt. they sleep on the surface.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:03:27 pm)

Heruka:
I've got tons of knives. machetes, bayonettes too. I like ciollecting those things.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:04:08 pm)

Chewing Wax:
That whale will hear us coming a mile away. They have good hearing and our boat will be making a huge amount of noise. Yo ho Yo ho a Pirate's life for me!
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:04:35 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I forgot to ask. Where are we going?
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:05:43 pm)

Heruka:
Geirgian Bay. East coast. Florida Keys. Dry Tortugas(west of Key west). Cuba. Bahamas. Turks & Caicos. then slide down the carib Islands to Trinidad and Tobago. Venezuala. Panama. Costa Rica. El Salvador. Guatamala. Nicaragua. Mexico. then Cali.

Chewing Wax:
ahhhh. Sweet. How much is the Canal? I'll chip in.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:11:44 pm)

Heruka:
$1500 we'll need.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:12:00 pm)

Heruka:
we have to hire local crew. a pilot and rope handlers.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:12:28 pm)

Chewing Wax:
That actually is pretty reasonable don't you think?
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:12:34 pm)

Chewing Wax:
It's going to be terrifying next to the big boats. The Welland Canal is terrifying and that's just from Erie to Ontario.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:13:29 pm)

Heruka:
the beauty of it is, I have no fear. my wife being Latino is one of them. I'm in. I get treated very different fron regular gringos I've noticed I expect this will continue when we're in Latin and South America.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:13:48 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Having someone who speaks the lingo is so huge.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:14:41 pm)

Heruka:
it's something. when crusing on a strict budget, it's a lot. but for the masses oyut there, it's a small part of the budget. I budgeted up to $1k a month.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:15:12 pm)

Chewing Wax:
That one picture you gave us of big bertha didn't look latino at all. Was that a false picture?
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:15:26 pm)

Chewing Wax:
That sounds reasonable. There are always unexpected expenses.
(Thu Jun 10, 2004 - 9:16:06 pm)

Chewing Wax:
You never know when the fucking boat breaks down.
