Peregrina's Journey

Peter and Margie Benziger

Mon 22 Mar 2010 20:45

0:43.43S/90.16.48W

We are still in the Galapagos preparing to leave here on March 24th for the Marquesas. Today is laundry day and tomorrow we re-provision our fresh fruits and vegetables and meats.

I am still learning how to use this Mailasail Program so I'm attaching a photo of Amy that I sent the other day and this time I think I've resized it properly....

I should also point out that we did NOT sail through Nicaragua in order to get to the Galapagos. We passed by Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and then the San Blas Islands and the Panama Canal. However, for the purposes of this blog, I've fast forwarded us to the Pacific. More news tomorrow....stay tuned
