4:06 pm or whatever time it is as things keep changing as we journey east.
Buongiorno,
We are 700 miles from Turkey and 2,300 miles from London. That’s not how the crow flies, it’s how we planned our stops along the way.…

Sicily:Siracusa check-in and lovely afternoon
Last Lap
Last bit in Majuro: Tuesday night get-together with the local cruisers; nice group of folks, many of whom came here for a few days and stayed for a few years. We thought we had fueling arranged for today, Wednesday, but it just didn’t happen. We did…
