It is the name of our boat, and the scope of our travel ambitions.

Commencement was yesterday and as always there was no time for anything personal but I did find time to check your posting each night. Keep them coming! Stephanie I can’t even imagine what the feeling must be like to make it to your first destination.

Derek plots you course on Google Earth and emails it out to all of engineering so that we can track your progress. Sort of your scrum burndown for the journey ;) Michael BTW – On the DivX front.

Also, time slows the faster you go, so you will arrive in the Marquesas much younger than you would have going slowly (but you will have to duck more to avoid the flying squid who probably won't be sharing your acceleration!)

I have e-mailed you before but I never knew you guys were Hams. My call is K4NHK (amateur extra class). When you guys get to land maybe set up a sched when you are free? Also, would like to know about your equipment & antenna. I have a Yaesu FT-1000D w/SB-220 (VERY OLD) Heathkit @ 2KW. also a Vertical (fold down) antenna due to subdivision restrictions. I sure miss my 4 element qubical quad at 60 feet where I used to live! smooth sailing! John Winner What frequencies can you operate on the Ham bands?

The last few days have not disappointed. I boat in fresh water in Canada (north of Toronto about three hours) and dream about the day we can buy a NH. Reading your blog, as well as other NH owners chasing their dreams is just like being there! Thank you. I have noticed the change in seas as you move further south and wonder with the changes to swell and wave action what the impact has been on the roll rate - with and without stabilization. For almost three weeks now your motion will have been fairly constant I would imagine your first landfall will be staggering! Light speed Kosmos!
