My mum gave me a tea towel today as she’s going through some old stuff and I swear it’s a #Nostr towel that was created well before its time 😎

I feel a little bad for not orange pilling more people. Over the years I’ve tried hard to express the importance of learning about money and the system were a part of. How the system benefits the few and allows those at the top to continue to control and print money. How Bitcoin can and will change this and how important it is for humanity to have a sound monetary base to build upon. But my biggest success is my dad and I’ve never been more proud of him. He’s a full orange 🍊 pilled 💊 Bitcoin maxi. He’s in his 80’s and he enjoys telling the bank manager that Bitcoin will make them redundant and that they need to watch “God Bless Bitcoin” Proud of you dad! My wife’s pretty orange pilled as well. She’s actually the actually the one that says you can never have enough Bitcoin and to sell the chairs. She’s a hard core maxi and would shave her head and sell her hair for sats! And both of them are on Nostr of you want some hard core Bitcoiners to follow here they are! @npub1w5zj...a99u @JimboG @Clo PS what do you think of our. It kin orange window surrounds 🍊 💊

Been off Nostr lately as we’re in full refit mode here or as us “Bitcoiners” call it we’re doing some proof of work. Been eight weeks of refit and we’ve got another eight weeks of grinding and sanding this old girl until we’re back in the water and floating again. Here’s a few pics from the last few weeks as proof of our POW 💥 #sailstr

In the video below we’re laying up some carbon on the P-bracket that supports the propeller shaft. The last few weeks have been hard. Twelve hour days grinding and sanding, fibreglassing and repairing this old girl to bring her back to life and revitalise her isn’t easy. But everything worth having in life is never easy. It’s these moments and these times that make the good times even better. I know in six months time we’ll be enjoying a sunset and looking back on these days with fondly or at least I hope so! 😁⛵️

When people tell us we’re lucky to live a simple and easy lifestyle on a boat it reminds me of people that say you were lucky to get into Bitcoin early! There is no luck we all make our own luck it’s called “proof of work” and below is a video of the “proof of work” that provides us with this lifestyle. We’re presently doing a three month refit of the boat to bring her back to life so she can continue to safely carrying us around the world’s oceans for years to come. Nothing in life is free never forget this. They are the laws of nature, play by them and you’ll have a far more rewarding life.

@npub1d3f4...r4xv mission accomplished!! Just got this message from a friend that’s been reading your book. Thanks 🙏 for sharing your story and making Bitcoin easier to grasp. You’re helping many people around the world understand the issues that come from printing money.

Big days here prepping the boat for the work to start. It’s an entire process getting things ready. We need to do everything in order prior to unstepping the mast. Engine needed to be pulled out. Centerboard was removed. Dinghy removed and put onto a cart so it can be wheeled around. Then it was time for the mast to be removed. From there the boat was put into a shed and all the deck gear and hardware was removed. Everything we have onboard, spares, provisions and all our belongings were removed and stowed for the next two months. The bedding and all the cushions had to be removed and stowed. Now after one week on the hard we’re ready to start the serious work of rebuilding the saloon roof. Along the way many other small jobs will be carried out that we hope will come together and make Spirit XL an even more awesome home and world cruising trimaran than she already is. Amazing how easily they can move a 54x35ft 8t trimaran around 😁
