Ok, gotta make this quick, as I am doing this while at sea and on a time restricted deal.
On monday at about noon we had traveled aprox 325 miles, and our speed was about 21 knots (amazing for a vessel this big), with he closest land being 3 miles under us (captains remarks).
As of tues, at about 5:00pm our position was 30 deg/ 46 min - 62 deg/ 46 min, with the distance to our first port being 2318 miles away. at this poit we had traveled 854 nautical miles.
Now today as I am typing this, the time is 9:00pm, and the time changes almost every day are just killing us!! Are location today as of 2;30pm was 33 deg/ 17 min - 54 deg/ 28 min, with the seas moderate at 4-8 ft.
Eating killer food and having a great time!!! seeing LOTS and Lots of water!!!!
Gotta go, as I am getting the glare from other people who need to use this thing!
Late.

| Im back
Thanks for the replies guys, I just never had a chance to get back online as too much was always going on. We did have a bitchen trip and I will try to do a post sometime later after we get all of the photo's downloaded, and just get back to real life again  , as we did not get home till after 11:00pm last night, after two VERY VERY long flights that started from our last port which was Copenhagen.
Now I have to get use to the time change thing, as the time now would be 6:00pm where I was yesterday morning, as opposed to it being 9:00am when I am typing this..
Good to be back!

| Saluki Ridge
Ah yes, the famed Saluki Ridge, Im sure I will be paying it a visit soon in the future  .
Thanks for the welcome back guys, it was an interesting trip to say the least, but I still prefer visiting more excotic type locations.
