Thanks for the blog I look forward to following your adventure.
I remember back in 1981? my aunt and uncle started a round the world voyage in a Shannon 38' ketch, which they completed 3 years later. They sent me a wish you were here post card from the Caribbean while I was in the middle of a "freeze your tush" January. Seem they were sitting there in 80 degree weather, looked over the side and saw some lobsters 20' down. They jumped over the side for dinner. While I was, and still am jealous, I wish you the same type of grand adventure.
