The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.

:first image caption Open ocean Maritime radio, maritime radio, this is Navire, Navire, over. Navire, Navire, this is Maritime Radio, Maritime Radio. Go ahead please. Good morning Maritime Radio, this is a radio check. How do we copy? You copy loud and clear. Thanks Maritime Radio. Navire out. Every time we get ready to go to sea I do a radio check to ensure the blood is pumping through our umbilical chord to the land. This time Im doing a blog post check. For this next journey we are using Yachts In Transit (YIT), a blog set up by one of our neighbours on his recent Pacific sailing sojourn. This nautical blog site has some special yachtie only features, the most appealing being that every time we post the position of our boat will appear on your screen and youll be able to track our position across the seas. Right now we should appear safely tucked into our berth at Chaffers Marina.
Ive been busting to blog about this trip but the superstitious sailor in me has delayed it till now. If I start writing about the trip before it has begun it might not happen. Again. The story of the recent delay of our trip is for another time. My constant challenge with technology has made these fingers hit the keys. If for some reason this blog and our position dont cross the ether I have the blog creator right here on our jetty to consult.
Next blog hopefully will be mid-November, en route to Gisborne, our first stop, weather willing, and contingent on the completion of the getting ready-to-go list that seems to get ever longer rather than shorter.
See you out on the ocean.
Janet
