Great video. You did a wonderful job on the sail-o-mat. Like I said, it is a little tricky on setting up the lines, but once there, it is great. Enjoy your visit to the Galapagos. Every island offers something new.

I sooooo loved the video, Lee! I am really enjoying watching your journey and look forward to many more chapters in this saga! My daughter and son-in-law just learned they are pregnant. They say they will postpone their Panama Canal crossing one year. We shall see. I have one question. How do you sleep? Nicole and Jack take turns being "on watch" when they are crossing from one place to another. How do you do it? You are all alone. Smooth sailing and my prayers are with you.

So, just over a year ago, I meet you down on Isla Mujeres cracking beers behind the bar for all the sailors...this adorable dog trailing right along after you. And, now...just look atcha! I cant get past the great progress you've made. LOVE the new video - perfect mix of yummy food, gear talk, deep blue sea, angst. Looking forward to many more, pal.

Thanks everyone. Just been working on the boat and taking in the Galapogos in between projects. Amy - the pup is great. My friends the Malms have her and she is being spoiled rotten. No doubt she loves it. Moyer - Flexing? Just be glad I put any clothes on for those videos. Kathi - One draw back of being singlehanded. I sleep and Jargo is on watch. Just had to Eyes of Ra painted on the bow so the ship has actual eyes. Photos to come. Misty - High praise from you lady. Much appreciated. Glad we've managed to keep in touch. One day I promise a real phone call. Patricia, Burt & Mel - Thank you, thank you. I can use all of them I can get for the next leg.

Proud of you my friend .It takes a great deal of Courage and Tanasity .I do truely hope that you will one day make this Journey into a book ,so that others who dare to dream as you have will be inspired to do so as you have done. Stay far away from those Hammer Heads .My wish and prayer for you is that you will always be safe and that Fair Winds will always blow gently along the way.One day maybe we can get some people together to meet you on the other side of the world and celebrate your achievement.
Be safe on the next leg .
Patricia
