I've turned off my anchor alarms as I'm definitely stable now.

I'll add in one thing I brought with me on this trip that everyone has thought super weird. I have a stereo microscope mounted on my work table. At first I thought I was just being a bit silly. But I have to say, I have used it extensively! Getting splinters out of people, fixing electrical connectors, looking into blind holes to see what kind of screw was at the bottom, sewing some small items, and more. I've even done work for folks - it has been used probably once or twice a week. Very useful!

Sorry to inform you, Amazon may ship world wide. But they will not ship anywhere with someone with a US address. You can beat dead horses, but I can attest to Amazon telling me they cannot ship to the address I needed in order to not have to go to my house.

I have woken up, and smelled the Amazon coffee... Jus' sayin' they don't serve the same coffee everywhere...

Well dang it, I forgot you do not have an Address in Puerto Rico, but I bet you can get that stuff there.

Call Amazon on how to get stuff to you, in Puerto Rico, for your Boat.

Take Care
Jim...

PS I can Ask them for you, but your cell phone should work, if Charged up.:cool:

It depends upon what is being shipped. I tried to get my fresh water filters shipped to me in Portugal, I had both an address and enough time to wait. Amazon told me they would not ship to Portugal. Period.

I sent a pencil, a frickin' pencil! To a guy in Newfoundland and Amazon said it would take two months. It didn't matter as the pencil was for him, not me, but it's way more complicated than one may think.

It's not as easy as you may think.

p.s. that pencil was manufactured in Canada. Go figure...

All good stuff - the difficulty is Amazon will not ship me things outside the US - been there, tried that... Doesn't work... Now it might here in Puerto Rico as this is the US. So can't say that for here, haven't tried.

I had several Amazon orders sent to me at a marina in PR. Just add a new address on your account.

Had a nice sail through the night last night. Clear skies, the moon didn't come up until very early in the morning. The skies were beautiful!

Couple of cruise ships - at first I thought one might be lights from an island, that was when I could only see the light reflection on the horizon. Man those things are lit up! So much light you can't see any of their navigation lights so hard to tell where they are going by looking. AIS is your friend.
