So happy to have another of your books! Apparently I get it free as part of my Amazon membership, but I'm going to pay for it anyway. My wife and I gave my young cousin and his wife our Dodge camper named River Chaser II. She served us well while we did the research and photography for two river books. She now lives in Paradise Valley, Montana. We miss her, but our 80s bodies were ready for less stress. Power to you as digital nomads! Jim Kimmel
Thank you! I just drove through Paradise Valley, Montana a couple of months ago. So beautiful! The book will be in Kindle Unlimited (which is the Amazon subscription) only for the first 90 days. Then I am going to make it available on Apple and Kobo and all the other platforms.
Impressive how the ambulance conversion kept evolving on-the-road rather than waiting for a perfect setup before departure. The shift from sailor to land nomad hunting warm spots shows adaptability beats perfection. That boondocking plan inBaja sounds like proper minimalist winter living, the kind that actually builds character instead of just talking about it.
Yes, it is so much like cruising on the water. We have to carry our own water, make our own electricity, and provision for long periods away from stores - all things we are quite used to.
Thanks! I brought the drone on this trip and I am looking forward to getting some cool photos from above. Today is cloudy and tomorrow we may get some rain, but as soon as we get the sun and heat back, I'm going to launch!
Cheers back at ya, Mahili Crew. Yes, as long as our health allows, we will be traveling. I'm looking forward to getting the truck a little more finished, but you know Wayne, he loves to work on his projects, not necessarily to finish them. (wink)
C. So great to hear your mobile travel. Your land voyages are as rollicking as your sea voyages. Vivid, compassionate, exciting. Hard to believe that just 30 years ago, we were sharing stories at FIU and in John D's class. I am still just a duffer, but looking forward to the new book. John Childrey
Thanks, John. We certainly are rollicking on these pot-hole-filled roads here in Baja. It's a bit like slamming to weather in a sailboat. How do the years pile up so fast? I kept thinking as I did the research and wrote about the 1940's about the fact that my parents took me to Europe in 1968 - and that was less than 30 years after the war. Thirty years doesn't seem like such a long time to me now. I grew up thinking WWII was ancient history. The last time I traveled down here in Baja was 50 years ago. It has changed a bit.

Wow, no moss growing under your feet, for sure! Missed hearing your exploits - sounds like you got this in order now. Look forward to the next segment

Very nice post! The book sounds very interesting!
Great to see your still foot loose and fancy free!
We know that feeling also.
