I'm moving to the Florida Keys in August and will be chartering my 26ft Sea Cat for sunset booze cruises, fishing, snorkeling and diving. If there are any south Florida bitcoiners lurking around I'd love to chat. Will be accepting Bitcoin (on chain, lightning, and Ecash). And dirty dollar cash for the normies.

Through all the chaos, it’s important to get away from your screens, read physical books, and chill out in nature. Even if what you’re reading is a post-apocalypse novel!

“Hard weather, says the old man. So let it be. Wrap me in the weathers of the earth, I will be hard and hard. My face will wash rain like the stones.” ― Cormac McCarthy

Making moves. Onward.

GM. Trying to build in a world of chaos is the greatest challenge of my life. But the sea is calling: Sea-Fever I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. John Masefield

Starting a charter business down in the Florida Keys later this year. Will of course be accepting bitcoin. :)

Can't complain too much. Corn will be cheap for a while longer.

Beneath the calm water tonight a hunt takes place. I watch the pulling moon’s light cling to the surface as so many castaways. I catch sight of a small death. The water erupts as if the light sought release and found it with the taking of life. I think about that for a while then drift away and sleep—dreamless. #art #photography

The attitude of great poets is to cheer up slaves and horrify despots. -Walt Whitman #photography #saling #freedom

Found another use for the top compartment of my Alp tin

From North Carolina to Marathon, Florida. #sailing #photography #photostr

I sat with my back against the mast and read a few pages from Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden. I looked up at the sky and went below to grab my camera, as this sunset was one I wanted to remember. #freedom #photography

Maui. Fell in love with this German vagabond. Never a good idea.

This was my GM view for two years. #sailor #photography

I still identify as a sailor. Years of my life were spent on the ocean. Landlocked these days but not one of them goes by without hearing the sound of the waves and the birds in flight.

Grok just tried to gaslight tf outta me. A story in four screenshots. How’s that deepseek r1 working for everybody?
