Back on the Boat!

Back on board, we relax from a few days flight/bus travel and get used to boatlife again. many jobs are waiting to be done, while we contemplate a voyage to Mexico.

Thursday 3rd Dec is our planned departure date, at around 5pm, if our chain is re-galvanised in time.

There is a new way to keep track of where we are, if you want to know, and I will be attempting to post regular position reports to this site:

Each report will stay for 7 days, then vanish.

I have set up another position report site, and that is: shiptrak.org:

http://shiptrak.org/?callsign=KD8KBR

This one will not vanish after 7 days, but will accumulate, to form a track.

Leave a comment, if you will, my friends!
