The time is coming fast! This is a note to let you know that Elba and I are getting ready to set sail toward the South Pacific in about 2 weeks. We are now in Seattle getting things ready to shut down our USA lives. It is a busy time here. I am trying to get some group mailing lists in order so you can get updates from us in the months ahead. We have created a link on board to send out only limited text. Because we will only be able to check our yahoo accounts when in a major port with internet connections ( cyber cafes) maybe every 2-4 weeks we need to limit what we receive. We are asking everyone to stop all forwards, and send mainly personal messages. Sometimes pictures are very hard to recieve in places with slow older systems. When we can we will send out some pics via a good land internet link and let you know when we will be in a spot long enough to recieve pics too. We will be posting on out website as often as possible- you can also see where we are (our exact location) via our website. If you would like to be included on our emsil list please let us know at: sv_mist@yahoo...thrn I will add and you can receive our monthly updates. Hope this note finds you all feeling good and enjoying the spring weather. Send you all our best wishes and much love! Will post again in a few weeks.
