Great thread masamaaso ,
ive been reading along since the start,
really enjoyed the stories and you relating how the day to day life is where you are,
id have to refresh myself with it all again,
but the return injured fisherman story and the witch doctor woman would have to be my favourite ..
been a real pleasure to see the meals you guys cook,
some great looking food there man ..
i know you dont need me to tell you your a lucky man,
you know it well already im sure ..
posting so i can keep an eye on that pot your growing ,
island pot is often fantastic ,
you have a great spot for producing some fine herb,
keen to see what you can come up with..
What's the Tibetan mink fuk? Is that transcendental meditation? Howard Stern swears by it; not for physical pain, but to center yourself emotionally.
1 ton of cargo, does that include the passengers and their luggage?
For a fishing upgrade, does that include trawling nets?
Have a safe and fun fishing trip, take some pics of the islands you visit and the fish you catch, and hopefully you'll catch any issues with the boat before you head out on a longer voyage.
I wish I had some pissy smellin work but I mainly have fruity stuff
Like a mister nice( g13xhash plant )crossed with some cherry pie herm dust
(None of the 6 I've grown have shown nuts)
And a mr nice x white widow
Cherry pie. X white widow
Cherry pie x blue berry ( Cali connection never released)
The nice pie (mr nice x cherry pie) x white widow
And nice pie x blue berry
Any of those sound interesting?
Oh yeh and a purple pheno of bubba kush x cherry pie
Forgot to do a bubba x ww or bubba x blue berry
But I still have pollen and cuts so let me know maybe we should let the ship mates decide
But of course if somthing tickles your fancy ill happily add a few of ur pref..
All seem to have a very good resistance to mould and pest ( knock on wood)
Would love to see any one of my beans growing across the globe..
Like I said I'm not a breeder just a guy that won't pay nutty prices for a bean,
And has a vision of "MY perfect strain" and would love to add some fast flowers for a bumper crop for you to enjoy.. It's the least I can do for the short novel you have provided me,
Thanks captain...
How about the smoking roach, seems like a good name for a boat. lol.
Love the new boat Masa, I hope the seas are kind and she lands plenty of fish. How about naming her 'Madra' which I think is the Irish word for dog? Sounds like you're on to a winner if the mrs is suggesting upgrading your gear as well. A new boat AND new tackle? You truly are blessed
Love this thread! I know the region and people have traveled through it. Sounds like an amazing life you have there masa!
Your story is amazing and I think that it sounds like you can honestly say you've found paradise. That is awesome!! Tropical island, beautiful water, lots of bud, and get to have your wife too....... I'm jealous..... New York Sucks........so many rules.....cant do this or cant do that. You are so lucky.....congrats!

Can't wait to see your "island style" release clips on those wide lines. You never cease to amaze me Masa!
Plants are looking good, boat looks sweet, life must be good M8!
Happy Memorial Day Capt. Hope your fishing expedition is great and all is well. May the Sea God Neptune allow his topless lady mermaid's to help fill your new boat to the brim with keepers. q;-)
I was gonna ask if ya busted some champagna over the boat masa but the wood chip burning is way way cooler! The name Dosia comes to me...many blessings and much respect
As we traveled and I fished we would use the fish as a gift to the people we stopped at along the way,
and used 2 of the 10 kilo kings to trade for diesel when we got up to Balabac island.

Glad you and your crew made it back home safely. Sounds like a hell of a good expedition Capt. Can't wait to see more pics soon.
"Pasalubong"... its a beautiful thing brother!
If only life rode along at this pace elsewhere . Glad the trip was a safe-un .
What you gonna call the lucky lady ? Kali would be sweet , eastern ring to it & anybody knows the green may be thinking the same thing .
Hey mas, not much on posting, but have followed since page one. Loving the stories and have made this thread a part of my daily routine. As many before me have said, thank you for sharing a different way of life and culture that most would barely think twice about. I used to import farmed corals from Indonesia and would love if you're able to snap a few pics if possible. I think I remember mention of a GoPro? At any rate, good vibes from mine to yours.
Oh...my boat name submission. Paralyzing. Seems to fit, but hey you're the skipper.
Be safe,
Subsidy
It was actually the first one tossed out even before the boat was finished and tossed at me as more of a joke towards my "lifestyle"..
Island Hippy ain`t no name for a sweet boat like her .
Wut up Brudda???
Ya need to read back somewhere in the thread I mention the,"Tibetan mind fuk",, now yea it would be cool if I learned it from a Sherpa in a small camp on the outskirts of Kathmandu, but that wouldnt be true,but would make a good story,,,but not true. No I was taught by a friend from Nepal, on the floor of his Bethesda Md home (nice house) as well he's taught a lot of men and women who ended up with life time chronic pains.
Basically its controlled breathing, heart rate ,blood pressure and relaxation,, stillness of the body is key,,,once you move or someone touches you ,,,Its over and you have to start again, oh,,and smoking some hash,,,really helps put you in the state of mind needed to do this, ya really gotta empty all thoughts in yer mind and focus on the target point of your body, as your focused on this your breathing will slow(as ya get better you can drop your heart rate to next to nothing which is when you can "mentally" levitate, or in your mind and what you feel ,,your now "floating " above the floor (NOT REALLY FLOATING ,,IT JUST FEELS THAT WAY).
Its only a temp thing,,lasts as long as you can lay there, but once disturbed ,,,its over, its great for getting some sleep when aches start kicking,,,I'm pretty good at it now and can do it at will in the right setting and do it just about everynight as im in the hammock sucking down bonghits.
And just to toss it in here,,,doing this with a couple hits of old skool purple microdot is the shit snizzy.....
muka a hope the sun is shining hard for ye like it is this end , fking bliss hear last 2 wks
me autos are comeing along fine fella View attachment 224760 they just past ther 2nd week and about to go boombud mode shortly...

lil Scottish humor for ye fella....hagi$$
Thanks for the description of the 'TMF', sounds like a very useful technique. Probably helped a lot of people avoid dependence on pain killers.
Do you ever do it in the hot springs?
Sounds like youre really maximizing the ship's fishing capabilities, sucks that you have to wait so long for the upgrades to arrive, but once they do no fish will be safe from 'Island Hippy'.
I have a question, are there sharks in your waters and do you ever catch and eat them?
Nice fix on the vibration issue with the engines. Mentioning Harley Davidson reminded me of your old motorbike. Which was nothing like a hog but that bike served you well. I guess now you're focusing on the sea instead of land. This will be the summer of the 'Island Hippy', the sweetest boat between the PI and the Indo coast...
