1 April 2008
Unfortunately the Sat Phone hired at great expense, so that daily blogs could be posted seems to be proving to be useless! So the boys on Jem have had to revert to the old email system, in which every character typed costs a small fortune.
So unfortunately news from Jem is brief but as follows:

‘Weather good, All well, Hope to be in Bermuda on Saturday’

April 2, 2008 - Jem and Crew |
| Posted by Anonymous |
The last great journey I made with Stewart was one accross Lake Ontario with nothing more than a new "hardly used"(15 yr old or so) ...boat, crew, and beer. We never even started the motor until we were 1/2 way accross the lake on route to the 1000 islands. 2 hours after departurte we were in heavy seas, no working motor and crew who were only good for looks. No working compass, one old chart and oh did I mention 4 cases of beer. It was a sail of a lifetime and one of my fondest memories on the water. Have Stewart update the details of the Journey.
I wish you all the best and a safe passage.
