The picture of Isla Espiritu Santo is magical. The photo of Peter doing dishes even more so 😂

When I was 12-13 I read the book by Jules Verne “Captain Grant's Children” where they travel around the world on a search of their missing father. I painstakingly tracked their trip on my world atlas.

These days there are mapping tools that can show your travel path like https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

I’d love to see your travels on the map! If you feel like it :)

Donna Peter belated happy new year! I enjoyed reading your story about what it’s like to live on your boat. it definitely is not for the faint of heart and requires a lot of thinking and resourcefulness! Anyway, glad that you two are doing OK. I am back to painting finally I’ve decided to do a series of landscapes as a means of becoming more adept with my new art space, and with. All the materials I’m planning to use photographs taken by us over the years. Again thanks for sharing your photos and your adventure. Love, Marie and Joe.

I deeply appreciate you sharing your experiences and meditations from your journey. I look forward to each one, and often save it for a quiet moment to read it with a cup of coffee in a chair by the window where I get to be transported by the images and imaginations that come to me through the words and pictures, and which float me into thought’s infinity of tangents. I thoroughly enjoy seeing these places, hearing you describe them and the things you encounter there. You describe it very well.

These days I typically go to bed at 9pm--the next time Corina or the boys makes fun of me for that, I'm definitely going to tell them it's cruisers' midnight.
