a story 2 tell.

davis, panama. captain send us ,javier and me,here 2 pick up the sail. we have 3 free days. we go 2 bars,1 full of bitches, pornos showin on tv screens. i tell javier, wait 4 me, i buy smoke.

asked guy on street, we went 2 place but em have only peppa. we smoked 2 u$ there ,left. 3 guys runnin out, hey, we have smoke.reentered, em told me, fallow us, is there, i didnt trust, didnt want 2 fallow em in2 darkness & unsafty. i told em so, got another peppa & smoked it there. then 1 of em 3 got arround me, put knoife against ribcage n said:gimme yr bag.i gave him, he took it said: take out whats in yr pants. as his hands helt the bag i risked a run. managed. em fallowed me, but soon i was in safe area. i turned n shouted:asshole, gimme back my bag or i bring poloce. all this was seen by a local livin there. 1st flew a stone than my empty bag.

ok, now. was hiperlucky.(ok, now, went cinema,2.75, watched john carter. disney seems 2 family,conservativ.)ok, enterin that backstreet instinktivly put camera n mp3 in pants. cos is allways samesame, fuckin bag is atracktin em, em imagine a iphone,ipad,ipod, big money in it. was luck bag contained 25-30 u$, pipe, 1.99 earphones.

wanna go back, try 2 recuperate some.have 1 idea.not enough willpower 2 fullfill it.

true, i liie this stuff, my adrenaline, my feelin adventure, indiana jones style, and was lucky in unluck.true, i like this stuff. shit is dangerous.problem:allways like ghetto,redlightareas, bukowski style.hehe

ok, true, tekknikally could have tried 2 counterattack him. i think tekknikally there was good oportunities., for sure.true. i go blank, no controll, i act by no will. true, am no fighter, am coward, i run, fast, fast as i can.

hm, as sail didnt arrive yet spend our 6th day here.javier has since 1st nbight girlfriend,me not, logico.am bit bored, i walk much, wsate my days with doin nothin. got sail n went back 2 golfito, did some boat repairingdays, javiers girl came 2 days on board , left.

em say is 5 days golfito 2 galapagos.bad sailin weather, little wind.each person takes 3hrs nightshift, but each night we all have 2 come up, woken at 01.00,03.00 or at 05.00 raise or drop sails.we do much of this raisin,droppin sails or puttin em from port 2 starboardside. 4-5 times a day. as oftn no wind we run much on engine.& theres muchg repairin on ship, the filters, pumps. oftn rains, we outside, workin on sails, or inside, readin. 1 morn whole headsail riped. i cook much, allmost always.kaptain likes my foodstuff.sometimes tom, kaptain,triews 2 fish but he catched nothin so far. am not sure if hes a unlucky guy or if hes party of the reason why thingsno run better. truth: i still make mistakes, much mo than javier, but it seems tom likes me. he says we r good crew, oftn makes compliments. 2day is 13th day n still 2 go till galapagos. normally wanted 2 pass galapagos fast, but as tom now has 2 fix haedsail he speaks bout stayin 3 weeks.thin is: by november we have 2 be out of cyclone area which stretches 2 new zealand and austraia.toms plan: end june in tahiti.

sometimes javier n me speak bout leavin boat. 2 many problem, it allways gets later. look, i met tom mid jan, now is mid april, n still no galapagos. but tom is latly mo relaxed,less tense,less angry without reason, n truth sometimes when i fuck up he no gets angry at all. truth: he fucks up quiete oftn 2. yep.

my plan go 2 tahiti,leave boat,work. catch oither boats tru tonga,salomon,cook,ect. on this boat all seems an endless journey, all a never endin story.

crossed equator, now southern hemisphere.

17th day, midday. the seemingly beautyfull island of galapagos on portside. readin vonnegut. i like.

4th day galapagos. is sunset,beer,mp3,beach,sealions all over. galapagos i like, very. saw some strange lizards n stuff.2moorow i ll snorkl among sealions. kaptain fucked yesterday n 2day. was personal against me, was full unfair. i ll change relationship'with him. no mo personla or friendlyfriendly. now hes my boss, i work 4 him, nothin mo. was luck, as we ve brokn headsail we r considered emergency stop n dont have 2 pay 100 fee per person. didnbt even stamp passport.true: could have repaired sail in 1 day, but told woman who repairs sail 2 take her timer. the longer the better

2day was a fantastioc day, snorkel with sealions n turtles. i shoot fotos with the newly bought bag 4 the camara.yippie, now we canhipermegafantastic snorkel with seqlions, em huge, just 3,5, cm arround u, me allmost afraid so close em r.
later other beach, snorkel with turtles;hipercool day.javier n me lucky cos we got waterproofed bag 4 camara, so now we can shoot fotos under water,wich we did.logico.
left.tom n me always mo n mo distqnt, mo n mo antipathic, we dislike each other deeply.hm.good day sailin is 120-140ml, a bad is 50. 5,6ml per hour is good 2ml/hour not.galapagos-marquesas 3000ml,then 700 tahiti.
me n javier daily cookin.did some leatherbracelets,much readin.relationship with tom bit better;made empanadas.
bit shit:gipsail ripped.big shit:rudderwheel broke. now steerin with tiller-stick.no mo automatic steerin, now we r nonstop by habd steerin.850ml 2 go. big shit:again motor problems.true:much brakes, much effort spend in repairin.
what i miss most:sleep 8hrs straight. no wakin in middle of dream 2 take nightshift;2-3 nightshifts per night.
