On November 9th, at 1:00PM, local, Dieter (1st mate) and Frank (2nd mate) and I launched our 4,200nm trip to Oahu, Hawaii from Golfito, Costa Rica.

We safely passed thru the 6 locks making up the Panama Canal, arriving Flamenco Marina, Panama City on Saturday afternoon, October 6th.
Hello ALL, We arrived 7am this morning in Colon. Our vessel needs to be measured before we can set the appointment to go through. We hoped to be measured today, but just learned it will not happen until tomorrow. This means the beginning of our 2 day transit will mostly likely be on Saturday instead [...]

Debbie and I had a very nice week in and around Tortola with our 18 year old daughter, Shannon, and one of her best friends, Cami. We enjoyed St John's natural land and reefs and Coral Bay, then to Sopers Hole, Indians, Willy T, and the Baths. Last nite spent up on Virgin Gorda where we were forced to reanchor in the middle of the night due to large rolling swell counter to the wind. Ended up at Beef Island. There we awoke to large tarpon circling under Dunvegan where millions of small fish sought safe haven. Managed to catch the underwater scene with iPhone and it's underwater case. Shannon and Cami had good time at Willy T's where we spent 2 nights on anchor.
Debbie met me in Road Town, Tortola on Feb 11th after taking ferry from St Thomas. I rode my folding bike into town from Nanny Cay and we took a cab back to the marina. After several days enjoying the beach and restuarant/beach bar we set sail for Sopers Hole where we spent the nigh on a mooring. We met up with Gil and Joy on their Farr, "Joy for All" and had a nice dinner with them at Sebastians on the north shore. We also met the owners of "Wild Thing", friends of the Dolives in Atlanta, moored next to us. Next day sailed at hull speed (video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40JsNQfHoMo) to the "Indians" near Norman Cay. Then to the "Willie T" anchored boat bar off Norman Cay. After a wild night on the Willie T we snorkeled the reefs and caves off the Cay (videos at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hm1o9b7cN0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3gMVR45wLQ)
