  1. Peace. Simple peace. No 24/7 "news of the world" blaring at you. No crazy person reading a book, all the while driving in excess of 75mph, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC! No one wanting a "few minutes" of my time to sell me something I don't want. Plain simple peace. Just a question. It seems you two are moving very fast, already planning to go west. There are so many places to see where you are, so I was wondering the reason? Is it time (aging)? Or just a desire to go there. If you don't mind telling I am curious.

    1. Yes Anon, we loved missing the 2012 Presidential campaign mudslinging, yet were happy to jump through major international internet hoops to e-vote. As far as the speed of our travel, it's a mix of a tight, limited cruising budget, conservatively tackling more physically challenging sailing while we're (relatively) younger and wanderlust for visiting more exotic and culturally unique places. When we "settle down" afterward, we would like to cruise more locally.

  2. Hi - as you consider your venture into the sourth pacific...I consider my next steps to relocation to France. Spending ten days in France, starting in two days. Perhaps someday we'll meet in the Med, along the south of France?

    1. LarryC wishing you a fabulous trip and that it may form the foundation of a longer stay in France for you. Perhaps someday we may indeed meet in the Med. At the moment, it's not part our sailing plans, however.

  3. Congrats! You've won an award! A Liebster! Not a Lobster a Liebster!

    1. Thanks Paul! You are so damned funny you're one tough act to follow!
