June 2011 Update

Part 1 of the Unexpected Circumnavigation  continues to sell well, for a self published book at least! We are working on getting it onto Kindle and into other e-pub and mobi forms. Right now it is only available in PDF, which isn’t quite the same as e-pub.

Part 2 is in the home stretch and should be completed relatively soon. Christi hasn’t been updated the blog primarily because she is focusing on finishing the book.

We have loaded a few photos from our circumnavigation onto Facebook (you do not need to be a member of Facebook to view them). There aren’t a ton on there now, but we have been slowly but steadily adding photos. If you “like” the page, you can see the photos as they are posted. Or, you can follow Christi on Twitter, which also notifies you when photos are added.

Work is keeping Eric very busy, but we have hopes that later this year he can try working remotely. If he can, we’ll do some limited coastal cruising and see how working remotely goes. With that goal in mind, we’ve been steadily getting Kosmos ready for cruising, including a new drawer freezer than can run on either AC or DC, new batteries, new alternators, and a whole host of other items we will hopefully get around to writing about soon.

Updated Version of Book 1 Released

We wanted to let you all know that we have released an updated version of Part 1. The typos have all been fixed (we hope) and we added a couple more short stories. Currently, paper copies are available at Amazon and Lulu, PDF copies are available at Lulu. It will also be available at some other bookstores and in e-pub format in the relatively near future. Part 2 continues to progress at a slow but steady pace.
