Well, we had our autopilot go on the blink. We are getting a short somewhere in the system and it is tripping out breaker. I looked at it for an hour to no avail, so will wait until we are in flat

Oops. I was remiss in giving an updated on our safe arrival several days ago. We've been so immersed in our surrounding, diving and exploring that I've been skipping the updates. Michael and Kate

We've been having a good overall sail/motor. We caught a nice wahoo yesterday and had that for dinner. This morning, after my watch, we got smashed with a 30kt squall. It was 12NM x 24NM in

It's been an eventful 24 hours. We arrived to a great spot for some diving. While the water initially was not that clear, I was confident it was going to be good out on the reefs. We did 2 small

We had a very good day diving. There was a spot we tried to find last time - a seamount - but could not. I figured I may have slid the waypoint by accident on my laptop, and I did. We had the
