Google Earth

Capt Chris, weather is what you'd suspect in El Carib
I highly encourage all hands to download the Google Earth program. I extracted the image above from Google Earth where my progress is being tracked. Each yellow square denotes a blog entry from the past. It is a great way for people who just stumbled upon my blog to get up to speed rapidly in terms of the where's and what have you's. Just like in XPLOT, you can click on the yellow square and up pops the blog entry for that position. Very cool. You can download Google Earth by clicking on the link under "Favorites" to the right.
So to access the blog via Google Earth click on the Current Position Map link. The XPLOT map then loads. At the bottom of the page you'll see the Google Earth tab, click on it. A dialog box should pop up asking to load the "KML" file using Google Earth. Once you click "Ok" your computer should automatically load the already downloaded Google Earth Program. Once the earth pops up within the Google Earth program, you may have to rotate the globe to the Caribbean, where you will see the image above.
Please let me know what you guys think about this process and the whole Google Earth angle.
Thanks!
Capt Chris
