new email adress

Hi,

I realize some of you don't email me, are or infrequent contacts. Anyways, going forward, my new email is as follows: alcirceo@gmail.com

what is there to say?

Sometimes, there's just not a hell of a lot to say! We got on the boat Thursday and it's been a pretty normal hitch so far. All paper runs so far, with some good standby time in between. I like the standby, as long as it's not too much of a good thing. Catch up on some reading ( Game of Thrones book 2 ) and catch up on Breaking bad, which I didn't start watching until just past November, and then a little of chart corrections too.
That needed a little attention because for some reason it's been neglected over the past year or so while i was away. I found all our publications to be out of date, so those are on order,as well as a couple of charts.

so, I'm just basking in the glow of being back with my crew, on my old boat. Life is good! I'm thinking of a series of interviews with other captains for a monthly blog entry, so look for that soon. Oh yeah, dieting now. goal: drop 75 pounds in the next 7 months. 10 pounds a month - healthy, doable. I'm taking the calorie counting route this time around because after all, calories is king is king as far as eating goes.

Anyways, that's it for now, just a run of the mill, non interesting dispatch, day in the life sort of thing ~ Al
