Oh, to be out there doing that, instead of in here doing this....

Marvellous ships log. I liked the footnotes written by the cat.

Back again to suggest another look at this site and see the new out come.

Wow...that was out of the blue! Guess he just missed his friends. People change, plans change...as long as he is happy and doing what he wants. Hope he doesn't try to go too far back too fast...wicked gale out there tonight.

Saw that, heading back to Annapolis. Gotta give him a lot of credit, he's really been out there doing what we all dream of.

There has been a turn of events and Bob is having some drama as he calls it, just what Bob would say, one should check his site for an update.

Drama... he's got a hole in the bottom of his boat and he's triggered his EPIRB... yet he's talking about getting the boat back to the US... looks like he's trying to make Bermuda, by the track on his SPOT messenger.

I kept checking Bob's site but no update, so needed to know so I decided to call the Bermuda Coast Guard, and with great delight they said they were keeping an eye on him and he had reported all was well, and that the main storm had passed. Then later check his site and was pleased to see he had reported as well saying he had found the source of his water leak and was now repaired, being I know the boat, couldn't figure what would have been wrong, but now is all well.
