Photos of our Trip

Squall to the left; but our path ahead going across
the Intertropical Convergence Zone is clear

Inmarsat as we are nearing the equator

Froggy looking at inmarsat. Froggy sailed with us in 200 also.
He puts up with a lot, does a few chores on the boat and cheers
us up with his funny antics. The chores?  He holds toothpicks and
letter openers for people, he keeps the handheld VHF from tipping over,
he searches for lost things.

Rigging: why sailing suits Barry.
He can keep all these lines straight,
(or lazy, if need be)
