Here you can see on the ship's radar that Aventura is officially sailing past the Arctic Circle. (photo Cred: cornellsailing.com) |
I am lucky this time around because Martin purchased a nifty gadget that enables him to bounce text messages off the nearest satellite. It's like having him home. I text him, he actually texts me right back (if he isn't working a line or his fingers aren't too cold). Usually my text is, "Call me." Which he is also able to do since he brought our satellite phone. This all helps soften the blow that he'll be gone for the next few months while I manage things back home. Which isn't a big deal since I've done this rodeo before. However, I really enjoy being able to sync up with Martin and get updates from him. In fact, he called me later today and I could tell he was cold since his words were a little more pronounced than usual. He laughed because he said that he was freezing! So glad that I passed on this adventure because he sounded COLD!
Looks like Aventura will arrive in Point Barrow on Wednesday where Martin will have a little more access to emails and internet (Always a luxury when sailing). I'll continue to keep you updated on this adventure.
Fair winds and smooth seas, Martin.
