We're back writing our blog after a two-year break. Driving south through bone-chilling temperatures, ( minus 17C for most of our trip south, and minus 4C as we drove into Florida) we realized why we like to sail away from winter! We are looking forward to meeting up with 'old' friends and enjoying a winter on the water in Florida and the Bahamas.

Checked your location on Google Earth and first had you in mid-Pacific, then in Australia, then in Tibet until I got the latitude and longitude in the right order and figure out the negative longitude. Boy you really are as far out as you can get into the Atlantic! Tried to find Frazier's Hog cay, where i went with my scoutmaster in the 1960's but Google Earth keeps putting me in the Berry Islands. Can you find it on your charts?
On your way back, if you stop in Bimini, see if you can find the traces of Admiral Zhu's drydock, which. according to Gavin Menzies, his fleet used to repair their enormous junks after a hurricane in 1422, as part of their round the world trip (before Columbus!) See http://www.1421.tv/
Keep up the good fun!
