well i am back. where to begin at. i went on the poz cruise and had a great time. did i find my next mate....well no not exactly. so it was a bomb in that regard. maybe i should have not put so much into it. that is why it took me so long to get back on here to report my findings. lol.


like i said, i had a great time and intend on going next year, if my high reuinion is not that same weekend.

we set sail out of miami and headed toward grand cayman. we had a day at sea, and we all got drunk. lol. my close friends who went with me actually got engaged monday nite. first at sea. so we had to get up early for snorkeling and shore excursion in the caymans on that tuesday. well the waves were too high for the tenders to get us off the boat. so the port authority closed the port to everyone. so we got drunk again....lol. we were told this after getting ready by 715am to embark. i do not mean anything against the organizers of the cruise. they continue to do a great job. it was a weather thing and out of thier hands.

by the next day, i was like well land this boat some where, please so i can get my legs back. lol.

we headed towards honduras, where we into the rain forest to go up in the trees and glide through the canapy on cables hung about 60 to 80 feet high. there was about 13 different cables that you had to get on. some were like 500 feet apart and you could not see the tree you needed to land in. it was wild. then we took a walking tour of the gardens and areas where they have monkeys who like to climb on ya. again it was way cool.

then we went to belize and toured the ruins of the mayans. we toured an old temple and arena like area in that country. we were supposed to see this pyramid ruin, but the rain had washed out the road there, so that was canceled or curtailed. we still had a good time, except for a queasy tummy i got on the bus ride.

then we went to cozumel. and the only thing i needed to do there was to find carlos/charlies and get drunk. so we did...lol

in cozumel we had lunch and when they bought the tab out it was in pesos, but said $199.00. i was shocked and thought that the mexicans got this gringo...lol. i actually asked if they took plastic. being that i did not travel with that much cash. it was only $20 in usa green backs. thank god.

next year they are hoping to get enough people on board where there will be hetero/gay groups, or outing or get togethers. who knows. i am hoping to go next year and will hopefully have a nice crowd as this year. next year we get 5 ports of call...

i think that is the address.

again i did meet some one on the boat. and we had some good time.. but on land she is, i think, not interested in seeing me. can you image that. one of the best man on this goddamn planet. well her loss. and if she changes her mind, or makes a move, i will let you all know.


as for my health, i am doing fine. give blood in the a.m. so i will be back next month to give results. feeling fine and doing what i have to do to keep me healthy. still running and bike riding. and then the other day i am lifting weights. i am about to start curling 100lbs on my last set. that is the magical number that i have never been able to get near. so wish me luck. some of the local people i have met call me popeye. lol.

well much love to all. capt. cosmos
