Feliz Navidad!

I don't have much time for this one, as the computer is running out of batteries, so I'll make it short and sweet. First, a little tidbit of the state of mind of el capitan and numero uno upon arrival in Ensenada:

"Hopeless Romantics"

Ensenada Harbor, Baja Norte

Many fish tacos, a bottle of champagne (provided by los amigos de nuestras corozon en Oakland) and a little tequilla to boot.

Victory against all odds. Dos hermanos equipped only with only with an impossible dream. We have done it. Staring down death, stupidity, bankruptcy, frustration and dissapointment. The largest flag I have ever seen stares down at us from a huge fallice in a concrete square. Red, white, green with an eagle and a serpent. Quetezocotal manifested in a seal affirming our vicrory from above.

All of our doubts are reexamined in the light of our current state. Anything is possible with vision, will, and a little old fashioned bravado. Looking back we see and validate how udderly ridiculous (and foolish) our dream was. This serves to highten our awareness the present We would like to tell our friends and loved ones to dream large. Our most rediculous and beautiful dreams may be achieved if we let go of doubt and fear. Life is waiting. Carpe Diem.

We have not gone to the moon. We have not solved the problems that todays world faces. We have only begun to realize the human potential. Possibilites are endless, and are learning to surrender to the wind. Control, is seems is a human illusion. We spend our lives consumed with it. Where we will sleep, where we will get our next meal, and what is to become of the future. Anything is possible. We are only two men, in a border town, living our lives. It feels really good. A dram of tequilla to those we left at home. You are here, right now, on this boat, at this dock, drinking and loving with us. Dream big, hold nothing back. As ski bumbs have elloquated: “go big, or go home”.

Let me just do this:

Question: Why are you here?

Glenn: A worthy question. Why am I here............. To realize my potential.

Brady: I’m not sure. I would like to know what “freedom” really is.

End Transcription.

Now, we find ourselves in the care of the amazing hospitality of the McAuliffe family, the family of our good friend Liam (last time I saw him was strolling down the beach in Kalalau, Hawaii, but that is another story...). They have graciously taken us in for the holidays, and we have been getting to know the fascinating dynamics of a family with 1 pretty boy as the oldest son and 4 crazy blonde daughters, along with the rest of em'. It sure is nice to get off the boat and under a roof!

Gotta go, no batteries. Feliz Navidad a todo!

Glenn and Brady.
