11/07/2023 Blog Notes

I'm having trouble finding the time to get the blog going, and to catch-up with everything that has happened, so have decided to post what I have, albeit with some large gaps. I will try to keep up to date from now on, and to back-fill if and when I get more time. No pics for now, as I have to cut them down in size to post, and have to figure out how to include them.

Our map probably looks a bit weird as I post our end of day position, which has us passing over land at times! I will see if I can figure out how to post intermediate positions.

Hope you enjoy the read!

Tony & Karen
