NEW WEBSITE
28 February 2010 | Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador
WELCOME TO OUR NEW WEBSITE! After too long, we now have a user friendly site that has many benefits, one of which is the ability to enter blogs as we cross the Pacific and also give position reports along the way so that those who are interested can follow our daily progress. We will be entering photos and blogs soon!
Yes, we are going to finally cross to the South Pacific. We leave Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador, on March 3, for the Galapagos where we will stay until the end of March. We will then push on in April, to do the "Puddle Jump" to the South Pacific, a 3000 mile crossing. We left Dream Caper in Ecuador in June and have since spent 4 months in Chapala, Mexico, a week in Okinawa, Japan (Portia had an arbitration there), 2.5 weeks in China, and a little time in California visiting friends and relatives. We just returned from a very quick trip to California to see family, buy boat parts, and enjoy 2 wonderful days of skiing in the Sierra Nevadas before we take Dream Caper across the big pond.
On Wednesday, we will be joined by our crew: the Roses (David & Eileen) who live near Chapala, Mexico, have owned their own sailboat, and have crewed on an Atlantic crossing from England to the Caribbean aboard a catamaran. They will sail with us to the Galapagos and on to the South Pacific. We look forward their arrival.
