What to Write

Even former journalists get writers block.  I do write a bi-weekly column for a Today's Sunbeam, a newspaper covering South Jersey.  Sometimes it's not easy to come up with story ideas, other times ideas come faster than I can type.


Today I brainstorm with myself; trying to come up with a stories that I can write quickly. I've come up with one about St. Augustine and one about my reading cave/aft berth hideaway.   Most of all, I'm trying to figure out out to do this blog thing.  Settig up the blog seems to be the most interesting challenge.  Maintaining it should be a problem... as long as we can get Internet.


 In between thoughts, we head to shore to use the head.  We've been doing the pumpout dance for three days out here on the ball. With the holidays there seems to be a shortage of staff here at Vero Beach City Marina.  The pumpout boat is not expected until tomorrow says the staff.   Crap!  We might have to pull out the buckets tonight. Pooping in a bucket is not fun.  Oh yeah!  One never knows what adventure one might have while living aboard.  While out we also jugged some water back to the boat.  Batteries are charging to the tune of the Honda 2000 generator.  As the Honda hums we make hot water, charge the computers, phone and Kindle.
