Ahoy there! I’ve taken a few days off my blogging to rest up and to get caught up with my family and all of the things that have been put “on hold” while we were on our cruise.

For those of you who are interested, here’s a summary of our travels. (click on the image below and it will open up much larger in a new screen)

I would also like to give a “Tip of My Hat” to my chartplotter software “TIKI Navigator” and its creator, Fred Jenssen.

TIKI has made my travels much easier than they would have been if I had navigated by using only paper charts or by using another digital electronic chart system. TIKI Navigator is a laptop based system that is simple to use and very intuitive. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a chartplotter system for their own boat.
