Hi Chris, Hi Dana! I so enjoyed reading your last logs! I cheered, laughed and envied all the way through! Thank you for keeping this website. I am living through you and cruising down the coast! LOL! I can't believe you caught those big fish!! How exciting and scary at the same time! You two are adorable!! Love, Cathie Bonnar

From Millard [the MILKMAN]....Dana's proud, but constantly concerned PaPa....A thrill to keep abreast of your scenic adventures and exploits and most heart warming to feel, by your separate entries, the feelings you odviously have for each other. When Nancy [the 16+ yr. step-mom] gets a moment to breath...she'll web you her own "sign-in"......LOVE...DAAAAADY.

Saw ya'll featured in CW "Passage Notes." I'll be checking out your "site" periodically to watch your progress. Meanwhile, don't go "tropo" on us. The world still needs "sanitation engineers" and legal assistance. Perhaps you'll come across opportunities to serve humanity in your respective fields on your cruise. Chris, have you had any contact with ADRA? They're a good outfit, and have projects world-wide. Fair winds and ('specially...) tides! lesaburnham@istal.com

Hi Chris, I must say it was a thrill to receive from Costa Rica your response via e-mail to my casual query re; your contact with ADRA Intl. Lesa, my wife and I are just wage-earners but support ADRA regularly because we feel that they are doing important work and believe they use resources very efficiently. The organization is an outreach of the Seventh-day Adventist Church but they don't promote any church doctrinal positions or attempt to advance a belief system. So far as we know they're content to just do the good humanitarian work and let the people approach them regarding their (ADRA's) motivation for doing them. We're church members so we wouldn't object to ADRA's workers attempting to spread the gospel but know that ADRA wouldn't be welcome in 160-plus countries world-wide (including several Islamic countries...) if they DID. We like to participate in their food self-sufficiency programs (in which matching grants multiply up to seven-fold the amount) and their wells/sanitation projects. EVERYone deserves these things, but sadly (as you know too well) far too many do not enjoy these most basic commodities. Well, thanks again for the quick response. You may not appreciate what a "lift" it gives to someone with similar cruising aspirations (well, maybe not QUITE so ambitious...) but who's kinda "hard aground" at present. Fair everything, Bob

I have sailed by chartering in the BVI, Leeward Islands, New Zealand, France, Aegean Sea, Bahamas, and other interesting places. I love drinking good wine, as long as it is red.

I get the pleasure of making the passage to Tahiti with them. Unfortunately, Nancy gets seasick and wont be able to make the passage with us. She will meet us in Tahiti.

Hi Chris and Dana. Im sitting here in my office in London suffering from a severe bout of trip envy after reading some of your logs, my wife and I regularly charter and have sailed in the BVI's, Greece and Turkey and of course around the south coast of England. Next year we propose a three week charter in the sea of cortez, your discription of the sailing area and the marine life there really spurs us on. We plan to retire at 50 (only five years to go) down size our property buy a long keel boat and head out to the Mediteranean for a year or so, once we have adapted to living in close quarters we will begin our circumnavigation via the Suez canal, perhaps we will see you coming the other way. Be good to each other. I will check your site out on a regular basis for inspiration. Richard & Jan

Hi Salty Sailors.. Just a note to tell you what a great job of doing your photo albums, they are terrific! I guess I'm just an armchair sailor anymore as I am no longer in the NAVY. I have a good friend that has a Mariner32 that wants to go crusing but her hubby is not of the same mind and I have a wife that is not as nautically inclined as I am either. Oh well, at least my friend and I can sit on her boat and rock it in port and dream of better time that could be had. I wish you both all the love and happiness with your boat and the adventurous spirit you both share. You are truly blessed with with each other and I think you must be very much in love with life and with each other. My friends boat is a Mariner 32' hull #3. SHADOW IS HER NAME. It is located on the Mariners website although I haven't been able to get the site up since last Wed. or Thursday. Sorry but I have to go for now and I do wish you all the best of sailing and the best in the future, so fair winds and following seas to you! Dry Docked, Charlie File retireddriver56@yahoo.com

Well done you two.

Hello, I live in Madison, Wisconsin and just got back from a trip to the Galapagos Islands.  While doing a little post-tour research I found my way to your site.  What an incredible trip you took!  I read the log entries from the Galapagos area.  Assume you got your sail fixed somewhere in the islands -- you didn't really say.

At this point I'm sure you're thoroughly back in your "other lives".  Congratulations on taking the sort of trip most of us can only dream of.  I hope the next owner of the Ker-Mor uses her well.

I am amazed. The trip you two undertook is truley remarkable. I wish I had known about your site before tonight. I just saw the ad on craigslist. I am proud and amazed that people like you exist and I hope to one day follow in your footsteps and take a sailing trip of my own. Get out of school first, get some cash, then sail my life away! Looks good just writing it! Thanks for the inspiration. Jim Wetherald A FAN

Just awesome. You Guys did it!!  You are an insprition to me. My husband, Kevin has always wanted to just get in our boat and head out for a few years. But life, and responsibilities have taken the front seat. We were married a month ago, and I’m closing in on 60 with 7 grandchildren; so if we are going to do this, we better do it soon. Boy, I cant imagine selling your boat, it saw you through lots of adventures. I love your journal, and will share it with Kevin tonight. We bought a 1972 41’ Cuttyhunk Ketch this month, and will be fixing her up, and hopefully it will be as neat as your Ketch.

We live on an island off from Maine, but have a great house in La Bocana, Baja Norte. Congratulations on your marriage,

Always live your dreams,

Margery

I have decided to go on a cruse in two years.  I know very little about how to prepair and was wondering if you had any advice.  I am reading your logs every night to get an idea of what you experienced I am on log 3; so far I am very excited about the adventure you had and hope mine will be as successful as yours. 

Thanks,

Wow what a great voyage and thankyou for sharing your experiences! I loved the photographs of the Sounth Pacific it brought back many memories of my childhood trip with my parents in the 70's through many of the same islands.

It's been a great voyage to follow.  Congratulations both of the marriages and the new family.  I look forward to the final voyage chapters.  It's great reading here in the northern climates.

My last visit was Wednesday 19 October, 2005. I returned to see if the rest of the story had been writtne. I will return, eventhough Ker-Mor's ship's wheel has been handed off to a new Captain and crew. Godspeed to the two (possibly three of you), as you pursue new adventures.

Thank You
