The March/April 2010 edition of Ocean Navigator Magazine has an article in it about piracy that Christi wrote. Piracy questions are probably the most frequent questions we get, and the article answers many of those questions. It also reveals our gun secret. Up until now, we refused to say if we had guns or not. Find out in the article! The magazines are on the stands now.

Also, we will be speaking twice at the Anacortes Trawler Fest. On Friday, May 21 from 3:30 – 4:30 we will do a presentation on our circumnavigation where we discuss overcoming the things that hold most people back and give an overview of the world trip. On Saturday May 22 from 2:30 – 3:30 we will be doing a seminar on “Adjusting to Living Aboard” that talks about various aspects of what to expect when trasitioning from land to boat life, including a big discussion on costs to expect. The “Adjusting to Living Aboard” presentation will be done jointly with Denis and Mary Umstot, who have cruised 50,000 miles from Alaska to Europe and back. The Umstots also have a great new book out, called Voyaging to the Mediterranean Under Power. Both seminars are included in the regular ticket price to the show, and are not part of the PMU classes that cost extra money to attend. At the San Diego Trawler Fest we met several blog readers, which was fun for us. Hopefully, we’ll met many more at the Anacortes one.
