Since my forum is currently “on the hard” while I enjoy lake and family life, I think readers might enjoy following the adventures of my friend Michael Thurston who is bound from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland as I type.
Readers of my posts this spring should remember my accounts of time spent with Michael in Portsmouth, VA and City Island, NY. He is on his second circumnavigation which he hopes to combine with being one of a handful of vessels to complete a circumnavigation of the western hemisphere by way of the Northwest Passage and Cape Horn. He has already completed the Chile, Cape Horn, and most of the Atlantic portions of the loop.
You can follow Drina real time at this link which is similar to my SPOT page. The password, which Mike has graciously given me permission to pass on to you all, is “NWP”.

One of Mike’s crew members is writing a blog which you can find here:

There is also another tracking site. It has been having some technical problems recently but, if it gets up and running again, you will be able to see where Drina has been since leaving Australia.

My forum has been resorted into chronological order so it can now be read in sequence. I am still undecided about resuming my posting after we leave for Maine August first. If I do, the old forum will be “Book One” of my cruising, covering the time that I was living aboard and cruising full time. However, now that I am going to be cruising only part time and with company who offers more interesting things to do than clicking away at a keyboard, I may decide to go back to just posting occasionally here instead of trying to keep up a running account. Meanwhile, enjoy following a ship and crew that are really doing something worth reading about.
