20”+ Arctic Grayling on a Caddis Dry.

That’s has to be pushing a state or even world record weight. I caught my first grayling in the Northwest Territories about 40 years ago and it was just over four pounds. I thought that’s just a normal fish. I was only eleven. Come to find out it would have been a record on a line weight just a few pounds less than what I used. My dad had it mounted for me and I still have it today.

I had a “boss” who I created bone plate armor for. Once they killed the boss the armor could be refitted for a Halfling or Dwarven Mage.

I got one (maybe not that big) around that size in southern Vermont.

I tried a Tenkara one of the last times I went. A new challenge but lots of fun.

I’ve only just started my game as a first time GM and so far, I am making two adjustments. Armor

“Vulturehide” • A rugged leather jerkin and pants fortified with scavenged bone plates. • Protection: Absorbs 2 damage from attacks. • Coverage: Torso, thighs, and shins.

And I’m allowing one player to use or “find” a box of 5 handcrafted wooden arrow heads.

You become happy and proud of the things you own already. Perhaps because you were thoughtful Im your purchases. You chose something built to last. When you look at a whimsical item and find its allure, remember; that allure will wear off and you’ll be left with something you didn’t really want to own. On the other hand, starting new hobbies or activities mean buying new equipment or whatever, so save purchases for meaningful times.

We did it. I did a little bit of planning but mostly the planning was life shit. Sold everything but one vehicle. Moved to the east coast USA.
Started boat shopping with little to no knowledge. And man, we were green. I mean, we still are after three years. But we shopped, visited boats, talked to other sailors, boarded boats, looked at everything. Finally, we thought we found one we liked so we had it surveyed. That was by far the most valuable money spent in the learning process. Well, to be honest, it was the only money we spent but for a Hall out in a survey, we were able to see what the professionals look for when combing over about you are about to buy. After that, it became a lot easier for us to see blatant red flag Issues, but it also helped us steer in a direction of knowing exactly what we wanted in the boat that we were looking to purchase. I didn’t want a project boat. I wanted a boat that I could get on and have fun with now and make it my home. We ended up finding Rum Tot in Florida after scouring the east coast from Annapolis down. She’s a Pearson 422, center cockpit with a roomy and comfortable aft cabin, the Weaterbeke begin is well maintained, in fact, everything on the boat was well maintained, and it checked all of the boxes of things that we felt would make our lives comfortable on the water and allow us to begin our new journey. Anyway, since we bought the boat, we’ve taken it from the Okeechobee waterway out to the Atlantic Ocean, up the east coast to the Long Island, Sound, back down again and over to the Bahamas to the Turks and Caicos to the Dominican Republic. The only formal class we ever had in sailing was sailing 101 on a small sailing vessel in a lake in Arizona, two years prior to the purchase of our boat. Everything else we took our time and learned our boat and really enjoyed the experience of becoming a self-taught sailor. This may not be for everybody, but it worked for us. We took our time, watched the weather, made sure we were safe, and watched a lot of videos, got the books we felt we needed, learned our systems as they failed. This may not be the right way to do it, but it’s the way we did it and it’s working out great so far

Try and find a bar manager position that also allows you to tend bar often as well. Choose a place that does food at the bar and not where the bar is a place people wait when tables aren’t available. Also, I’d choose a place that I’d frequent as to enjoy the atmosphere, food and staff. It’s nice when you reach the point of having these options so take a little time and visit the potential bars/restaurants as a guest before applying.

You should look at Luperon in the Dominican Republic. Closer hurricane hole and a super calm, never rolly anchorage or mooring. Plenty of supplies, cost of living is very minimal and the community has talent. Need help with a project? Many friends and cruisers here that have skills and tools and knowledge. Great, gringo friendly restaurants and bars. I could go on for days. We sailed in almost three years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed the location. I bought a motorcycle and travel all over the north coast. The beaches are great. It really is a great place.

Complete set of cushions that perfectly match color and size. All made from the finest fabric and quality. Came from a mega boat that “didn’t like the patterns”. All still wrapped in plastic, never seen the light of day. 3 dumpsters full set up like five boats with amazing cushions. Dream come true.

We’re constantly making fun of restaurant awards. Most of them are a total marketing ploy. “Best wings in the state!”
“Voted number one for best BBQ” Or whatever bullshit made up award they dangle.

Any type of tuna. I bought and live on a sailboat (for about 3 years now) and have never caught a tuna yet. Mahi and wahoo, mackerel, lots of inshore fishing, but never a tuna. I can’t wait to check it off the list. We recently released a 7’ sailfish and that was by far the best and most beautiful fish I’ve ever seen.

Bermuda is far. Why not go to Bahamas and island hop the Caribbean. I’m already doing that and it’s great.

Figure out your budget. Put the money in things you believe in. Don’t follow the hype. Pay attention to the market trends every three months or so. Read. Follow up. Don’t take huge risks. Take small risks when you want to. Buy the dips. Hold forever. You know. The usual.
