January 31, 2007

Shibumi ready to travel after getting refueled.

We wanted to continue moving south, looking for warmer weather.

About an hour after this picture was taken we decided to go offshore and sail in the Atlantic Ocean throughout the night to reach Miami.

We are supposed to meet another boat south of Miami next week, then catch a good weather window to cross to the Bahamas... Heck after sailing all day and night I feel like I already crossed to the Bahamas... I am going to go take another nap.


Columbus must have been right. We have sailed out of sight of land and it looks to us that the earth is round.

The moon set as we approached Miami about an hour before sunrise.

Nothing like "sinking the land." I'm continuing to enjoy the trip.

You'll feel better when you have the other boat with you. This voyage reminds me of that movie "The Four Seasons" when the couples went sailing.

I thought of you and Jill as I shot the moon over water in 15 degree weather last night. I hope this front does not push any farther south.

Boy are you guys intrepid sailors. Enjoy your nap. Great pix.

You deserve some sleep. I bet sailing at night really takes it out of you. All your senses would be working overtime.
