Post Salacia: Day 7 - What Solitude? @ Sail Blogs

Since we're in middle of nowhere you would expect that we're pretty alone out here, right? Well, in a way we are. We haven't seen another ship, pleasure or commercial, for days. But our long range radio is alive with chatter. Each morning we check into a cruisers "net" where we report our position and weather conditions. Boats from Mexico and deep into the pacific report in. After our report the net controller asks if there is "traffic for Salacia." Many of the friends we met over the winter take the opportunity to call us and say "hi." Just yesterday we heard from Rocket, In the Mood, Petrel, Western Grace, Po ino Roa, Royal Treat, and Ohana Kai. It's a great feeling to talk to friends who are halfway across the ocean and sure makes it feel like a small world. Direct Link
