Re: Hostile acts against cruisers underway in the Caribbean

Thanks. My route is indeed East of San Andreas and Providencia, at least until I get quite a bit North of Providencia.

Re: Soundings Article on abandonment of sailboat in Atlantic

Thank you. That does make it more understandable. The article I saw made no mention of any rudder problems and the sea state shown in the rescue picture appeared pretty benign. Guess you had to...
