Cruising Active Transport
We left San Francisco on September 7th 2008 and are off to see the world in our Tayana 37 Pilot House cutter.
still behind on our blog entries

We are in Peru now and have better internet access. As luck would have it we no sooner got here but my Fujitsu computer developed a fan problem and cant be used until its fixed. It has most of the photos from the Galapagos and Easter Island so we will have to wait until the computer is fixed before we update our galleries. Shawn has agreed to write the blog entries since we left Panama so things should start getting updated soon.

We are currently in hanga piko harbor on easter island while we repair a broken weld in our bob stay attachment tang. We had a hard time finding someone who could weld stainless steel but finally got the thing fixed and installed back on the boat. We are now waiting for a weather window so we can head to Peru.

very slow internet in Galapagos
John
07/12/2009, Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island

We are not having a lot of luck uploading our galapagos photos from the Galapagos. The band width here can be painfully slow at times and the blog hosting computer frequently times out before our pics get uploaded. Hopefully we can get some of them uploaded before we leave but even if we do it is doubtful we will be able to get the captions added.

We are leaving the Galapagos for Easter Island on the 14th. It will be a 2000 mile passage (12 to 15 days) and there is no reason to expect the satellite email will be any better there than it is here. After we leave Easter Island we will be heading to Lima which is another 2000 mile leg but the current will be with us on that one.

The net result is that we are unlikely to be able to update our blog, with anything more than brief reports while underway, until we get to Peru in late August.

Once we get good internet access we will have a lot of stuff to upload.
