To All of the Med Bound 2007 Participants: I am just a lowly Gulf of Thailand off-shore cruiser who lurks around the list, (about to launch my new 37' Power Cat in a few months), and who knows I will never do what all of you have just achieved!! It is just toooooooooooooo cool, and I thank you for the time spent letting us at least live a little of your experience in an "e-way"!!!! (Sure could taste that fresh Mahi- Mahi!!!!). You will no doubt have wonderful times ashore re-living the past 12 days .... and you deserve it! Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE!

And she has put up with a cantankerous skipper and needy dog for over 1,000 miles to Bermuda and another 1,800 miles to the middle of the Atlantic. A skipper could not ask for a better mate and a husband could never have a better wife and partner! --To crewmember George Howerton. He fits right in, shoulders more than his share of the load, and is one terrific shipmate. It's good to go to sea with people you like, and we really like and admire George. --To the other Med Bound yachts and their crews: Moana Kuewa, with skipper Chris Bauman, mate Bernie Francis, and crewmembers Dave and Mary Ann Plumb; and Salty Dawg, with skipper David and admiral Lowie Bock and crewmembers Dennis and Esther Bruckel. You guys all made traveling together on a passage all it's cracked up to be! --To Pacific Asian Enterprises and especially to Jim Leishman, Amy Zahra and Jenny Stern: Our deepest thanks for all you've done to make Med Bound 2007 such a terrific and memorable event for those of us taking part. As I've said many times, we could not have done it without you. Lots to do to get ready for landfall so I'll quit here and get this off. We expect to be in Horta for about a week, and this will be our last report until we are ready to depart Horta. --Milt, Judy, George and Schipperke Katy -- Milt Baker Bluewater Nordhavn 47 #32 http://www.bluewaternav.com A compilation of reports from Med Bound 2007 may be viewed at <http://www.nordhavn.com>.
