almost forgot

"the old men"  as Darl calls them.  When we arrived, Thursday morning, there was only one bird so later they started coming back from wherever ... my buds.

4th and alone

The crossing was like a lake... very different from last time we crossed... still have that little bit of a leak.  The sheriffs came and told me that I needed a permit to clean the bottom of the boat, cause I was checking things while waiting for Darl.  All bullshit!  The asshole cop has something against our boat.  Went and talked to the harbor master... he told me there is no such thing... I do not need any permits.  Can you believe it?  They are always so busy to fuck with people who are alive in CA.  Fucking bolshevick, communist state.  What a joke, where do all these assholes come from?
