Anchored in Falmouth Harbor, Antigua
I want to send a special thanks to s/v Solstice, Shirley for helping me set up this blog and John for the SSB refresher course. Thank you Herb, Southbound II, for the daily weather forecast and routing advice. A great big thanks to Mary on s/v Berkeley East for the funny daily news updates. Kudos to Jim on s/v Orinoco, who at age 71 is solo sailing across the Atlantic continuing through the Panama Canal and up to Canada. Heartfelt sympathy to Terry and Deb on s/v Wings, who on this ocean crossing learned that their home burned down on News Year Day. A very special thank you to our kids and grandkids for your love and support of our crazy lifestyle. We love you.
