A Formal Day at Sea




Its Tuesday, April 7, day 5…as we cruise the Mexican coast near Acapulco, heading for Huatulco. Planning on finding a cheap internet connection a few miles from the port, according to the crew…

Will get on the internet tonight for about 20 minutes, to update Monday & Tuesday golf scores and whatever else.

Exciting day today, met very interesting people in the morning, lunch and afternoon and actually built up a $145 profit at the tables today…Still down, but its early..Lost the blackjack tournament but will win the next one…I was the third highest qualifier for the finals…Liz won $55 playing bingo yesterday, Yeah…

  1. Great photo... what a sharp looking couple you two make! Congrats to Liz on winning at Bingo! What kind of blackjack money management strategy are you using? Walk away from the table when you are up 25%? I would think the odds of a player of your skill would always at some point be up 25%, so as soon as you hit your goal walk away! Easy for me to say. ;-)

    I booked $200 today in stock market. I sold a BHP Jan 2010 call option for $7.80 last week when the DOW was above 8000 and today bought it back for $5.80 when the market was down!
