"The albatross is back to visit every day, sometimes with a friend."   Rough seas and ongoing adjustment to the motion of the boat. Glenn's pleased with how well the boat is sailing and feeling very lucky to be doing this voyage. He's having problems with his onboard communication system (inverter) and is currently unable to charge his laptop so he won't be able to  communicate by email. Our communication will be solely via ham radio to our contact person, and then by email to me. We are working on a solution to recharge the laptop and will advise of our progress. Thanks for all the messages sent through the website. We look forward to receiving more.
