Comments on: First Night Run and Ensenada http://kosmos.liveflux.net/blog/2006/05/20/first-night-run-and-ensenada/ Kosmos is Greek for world. It is the name of our boat, and the scope of our travel ambitions.

We of course remember you. We read all your NAR posts and have been checking the progress on your new boat, which is looking awesome! We are very much hoping we can meet up somewhere. A goal of ours is to meet up with as many NAR participants as we can at various locations. Even though our participation in the NAR was small, it was a special event for us, and a crucial step in us committing full force with our plans to get Kosmos. Ken and Roberta!

Regarding satellite communications. They can beexpensive. However, e-mail can be done cheaply through SSB radio, or pretty reasonably on sat phones. True "web browsing" connectivity in the open ocean requires some specialized satellite hardware and is quite expensive. Search for "KVH". Many cruising destinations have Internet cafes. Since most of our time will be on land, we are not too worried about Internet access at the moment. Randy, the “Our Plans” page has some details for you.
