The other day I had a friend in the next slip ask me what I am passionate about and how I have maintained such a great relationship with my Daughters ......well I thought about Sailing , Nance [not in that order ]and my wind generator .......it got me thinking deeply .....about my Daughters and I am struck with thoughts about what and why ...things I must
instill or teach my daughters daily to counteract the garbage from Tv , the
internet , school and thier friends www.botcwindsolar.com
Here is my list :[seriously tell me what
you think of it piratesbotc@gmail.com]
1]Fathers are
forever , I will always be there beside her , with her and for her to depend
upon.A lighthouse.
2]She is
beautiful just the way she is .Her Natural attractiviness is all she will ever
need .Reaffrim this daily
3] She is enough and capable of anything.She
has all the intelligence
,confidence and capability to accomplish anything.
4]Practice saying
NO! along the way girlfriends and boyfriends will place her in a position where
she may make poor choices but she must say no !!! Practice makes perfect
!!!
5]Believe in RIGHT and WRONG , she will need moral clarity in the
future ,teach what is ethical and right so she has a measure to live
by.
6]Humility , Yes I want them to have confidience and independance
but I also want them to respect others and treat them with diginity .[ie people
in positions of authority , elders and me]
7]Maintain
a healthy lifestyle with laughter , song and good food.They must have a
heathly view of thier diet , lifestyle and excerise habits.Go SURFING , eat mangos and laugh at
the absurd.
8]Men should treat her with gentliness and respect , she
should exspect and refuse anything less.
9]Modesty , it is more
attractive to create a modest and authentic look , [revealing looks are crying
for attention] there are boundries that are acceptable and these are my
boundries.Deal with it and live with it.
10]Relationships and Family
matter most , most of her joy and fullfillment will come from the relationships
she builds , so she must choose and act wisely.Wait and catch the right
wave.
11] Stay away from drugs and dont drink too much , Alcohol may be
harmfull and impairs judgement, the effects of abusive before she is an adult is
painful.
12] I will always defend her ,if someone wrongs her in any way I
will always defend her and champion her cause ,she need never look elsewhere for
protection.
13]Managing money , thrift and fruigality are virtues to be held dear.
14]Honesty and Integrity ,
always maintain these qualities.
15]Patience , wait to have sex, wait for
the right man ,wait so you can finish college , wait so you can travel ,dont
rush into things ,the right wave will come.
16]Keep things simple , the
simplier the solution the more eloquent.
17]Believe and trust in the
power of prayer , you are blessed and highly favored
18]We have Enough ,
dont fall victom to consumerism, give generously of
yourself
19]Appreciate Nature , come with your Pop and go surfing or
watch the sunset , marvel in the glory of nature and God
20]Be persistent
,Perseverance is a fine attribute to have and hold,catch the right
wave
21]Be practical and
pragmatic , solve all problems is a logical way , solve the problems for
others they will love you for it
22]Dont get pushed around , you have
authority over your life , take control , you are your own best hero
!
23]Ask what can I do about it? Be practical and follow the prayer of St
Francis [ my english Teacher had me recite it daily ,I thank her for that to
this day] , it will reduce your stress and lead to a longer life
24]My
love is unconditional , I will always, always , always love you , I may not
agree with your choices But I will always love you and you must understand the
seperation between these two concepts
Finally .....My Daughters Matter and the job of being
a
Father in todays society is difficult ,the opposition is fierce and
unrelenting , I literally draw a line in the sand on my island daily , I will not give up
on you ,I will be an example for you to be proud of now and in the future , our
society will not claim you as a victim , I will ensure you are strong ,secure ,
proud and ready for tomorrow,I love you......thank you girls for teaching me as
much if not more than I have taught you over the years.

Rocna Anchors and BOTCWINDSOLAR
We have renewed our agreement with Rocna for the Gulf of Mexico and Carribean
www.botcwindsolar.comwww.rocna.com
As we know we always have the best products and renewed our commitment to Rocna ...".Rocna's mareketing plans always involve the small Mom and Pop Business ....With Paddys knowledge and understanding of what happens under water and the concerns of .....real or planning cruisers needing in anchoring .....this is a great union of real Gulf of Mexico/Carribean Knowledge and superior engineering .....BOTCWINDSOLAR has fantastic record of proven engineering preformance with thier wind generators and desalinators .....the word of mouth experiences of cruisers praising the engineering innovations on Paddy's Generators and Desalinators can only be described as AMAZING! .......By joining Rocna's name with Paddy[BOTC ] .......we see nothing but another growing year for our Anchors in the Carribean.....If you are in the Carribean contact Paddy at BOTC for quote on a Rocna Anchor deliveried to your current port ."
The Ronca Story
Rock Solid Innovation
Super High Holding PowerTesting demonstrates that a Rocna possesses stopping power vastly superior to equivalent weight plow or claw types in soft sand or mud, due to the large blade area coupled with the blade's concave shape, which offers the greatest resistance of any form.
The Rocna is an SHHP type anchor. Super High Holding Power is a standard which requires double the holding power of a benchmark HHP type, or four times the holding power of a "standard stockless" type. For details of RINA classification, please click here.

Instant setting A Rocna always attains the correct attitude for penetration, and with its combination of chisel tip, roll-bar, and skids, is rapidly buried on most seabeds – typically within one meter (three feet)
Large blade area and chisel blade tip On a boat weight matters, and in a Rocna anchor every gram of metal is put to use. A large concave surface blade area offers superior holding power, and the chisel-like blade tip easily penetrates weed, grass, and kelp.
Roll-stableA Rocna is not susceptible to sudden 'trip out'. Owing to its optimized geometry, it remains embedded, and does not roll out on load-reversal or if dragged under extreme load.
No roll-out: this Rocna has been intentionally dragged beyond yield, and its load veered by 90 degrees

Ease of use A Rocna self-launches and locks home on most bow rollers. A tight curve radius between the shank and blade give a positive lock, preventing movement at sea. The slotted shackle attachment point allows single-shackle fixing, and special holes are positioned for a buoyed retrieval line and tandem anchor, if required.
Roll-bar A Rocna’s roll-bar ensures that the anchor will turn itself to the correct attitude for setting, every time. The skid-rails then direct the blade into the seabed. This also eliminates the need for dedicated tip-weight (an inefficiency common in other designs)
VersatilityThere is a Rocna to suit your boat, whether she's a small runabout or a vessel displacing 50 tons. Larger sizes can be custom designed for your vessel (please enquire)
AppealA Rocna has a distinctive and smart look that complements and enhances any craft.
Rugged strengthThe heavy-duty construction of a Rocna is attained through clever design and the use of high quality steel. A Rocna is rock solid with no moving parts, eliminating complex adjustment systems and potentially dangerous failure points.
DurableA hot dip galvanized finish covers the entire surface of every Rocna with protective zinc, including the interior of the hollow rollbar.
The Rocna was designed to address the limitations shared by all older and most newer anchors available. These designs suffer from a combination of the following:

- Limited resistance and holding power due to small blade areas (inefficient distribution of weight).
- Blade shapes designed to furrow, i.e. to move through the ground.
- Poor penetration in difficult seabeds such as kelp and grass.
- A tendency to roll-out under heavy or veering loads, especially common in claw and Danforth-style flat blade types.
- Poor designs that do not consider stowage on your boat’s bow, resulting in slack fits that allow movement at sea which can be damaging as well as annoying.
- Insufficient strength in the shank or other load-bearing sections.
- Moving parts, i.e. a reduction in strength and a hazard to personnel.

Nothing to do with sailing , this is about life in General
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,
when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2
Beers.A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front
of him.When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.He then asked the
students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.The pebbles rolled into the open areas
between the golf balls.He then asked the students again if the jar wasFull.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it
into the jar.Of course, the sand filled up everything else.He asked once more
if the jar was full..the students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table
and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space
between the sand.The students laughed..
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want
you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things---your family, your
children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if
everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job,
your house and your car..The sand is everything else---the small stuff.'If you
put The sand into the jar first,' he
continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for
life.If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never
have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your
happiness.
Spend time with your children.
Spend time with your parents.
Visit with grandparents.
Take your spouse out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and mow the
lawn.
Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really
matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand. One of the students raised her hand
and inquired what the Beer represented.
The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The Beer just shows
you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a
couple of Beers with a friend.
