From Costa Rica (IF we can ever leave Portugal), I will continue south to Aconcagua while Tim Harvey continues north to Vancouver. to finish his Vancouver to Vancouver journey. More is on the web site about this: http://www.Around-n-Over.org

Enjoy.

One can remain in the know by either signing up to our Yahoo!Group:<br /> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/around-n-over/">http://groups.yahoo.com/gro...</a><br /> or using the RSS features provided in the same. It is a matter of when for us to start a BLOG, but this set up may endure for a while given so much else that is going on.<br /> <br /> Best,<br /> <br /> Erden.

There are such devices that ping with the GPS coordinate of the boat on a preset interval via a satellite connection. This is also important for retrieving the boat in case I have to abandon it for some reason.<br /> <br /> On land, I probably will be posting my GPS coordinates as I go via satellite phone.<br /> <br /> I will look into the link that you suggested, thank you so much for the words of encouragement.<br /> <br /> Erden.

On land, I probably will be posting my GPS coordinates as I go via satellite phone.

I will look into the link that you suggested, thank you so much for the words of encouragement.
