N. Atlantic: Circumnavigation!

Sunday Feb 3 2008 4 pm (FL) 20* 57' 45" N X 073* 40' 73" W

On March 15, 2007 I left the little 200ft x 200ft harbor of Matthew Town on Great Inagua Bahamas for Jamaica, San Blas and Panama.

This afternoon I arrived back in the same bay I left 11 months ago, or exactly 10 months and 23 days to circumnavigate the world!

The new Hunter 49 "WanderLust 3" and I are officially "CIRCUMNAVIGATORS" having been one lap around our globe.

With the advantage of constant trade winds and a fast boat, I am about one week ahead of schedule into Miami.

The Miami Boat Show starts on Thursday 14 Feb. I will be in the Mia Marina on Feb 7 or 8.

I will leave here tomorrow for the 450 miles into Miami via the "Old Bahama Channel" along the north edge of Cuba

Since San Juan Puerto Rico I have been receiving Sirius Sat Radio and 'MargaritaVille with 'Super Bowl Sunday'.
