It has been almost a year since we lost Madwenowe to a freak storm in San Carlos, Sonora-Mexico. The grieving process has finally run its course. I have begun looking for a new boat to replace her. I hope to have my sea legs back soon. A year is far to long to be away from the sea.

Another positive note...I am also emerging from my bout with "writers block" with a re-newed desire to write again and complete my book...so bookmark and return for updates and enjoy reading excerpts from "The World is Beautiful at 5 Knots".

Update: I wrote an article of one of our Tehuantepec experiences and it made the pages of "Latitudes and Attitudes".

We got off pretty easy on this trip, However, on our return trip from El Salvador the first 500 miles was the worst sailing I have ever experienced. Look for the it in a later edition of "Latitudes and Attitudes"
