The pace has gotten VERY slow here in the Rio since getting back from the city. There has not been much to do lately other than work on the boat. The marina’s still quite empty, and the tone is very tranquil and quiet both at the marina, and Rio Dulce at large. More boats are starting to trickle in, and I suspect by the end of June, it will be pretty packed. I’m surprised that there are not more boats here now, considering the disastrous hurricane season last year. You’d think that alot more boaters would want to get here early to secure a good slip.
I’ve compiled a long list of tasks to get done before I head out to the states in a couple of weeks. Luckily, it’s all mostly small projects, other than some varnishing and woodwork that needs to be done. I’m already done with more than half the stuff on my list. And I suspect that I’ll be done with most it well before I leave.
I’ve been getting caught up on emails and online stuff since there is not much else to do. I’m playing around with writing some non-blog stuff (shudder), so the downtime has been good for me to work on that as well.
I’ve heard from Sjelle a few times, and she’s been having fun in Barcelona and London the past few days. She’s due to fly back to Denmark in a couple of days to rejoin the Danish workforce, as, possibly, a mover?
Meanwhile, my days are quiet and slow, with a little boatwork here and there to fill up my time. I’m enjoying the solitude and quiet, because I know it’s only for a couple more weeks.
Wish there was more to report, but that’s it for now. Should have a couple more anecdotes and get caught up on the photo gallery in the coming few days, so stay tuned for that.

Tony,
How’s it going – was just cleaning out my inbox when I found a link to your blog — very interesting life you lead.
Trust all is as well as can be. Last year I spent ~180 days on business in Asia (Taiwan, Japan, China). Japan was great, Taiwan friendly but still emerging. The food took some getting used to, but now some of my favorite.
Just thought I’d say hi. Good to know you are still kicking…
