Because Palmerston is such a low-lying island on top a volcanic coral atoll, we took all the more care to make sure we anchored securely. With the wind freshening to Force 4 (16 to 23kts) we anchored in 15m of water and Ed Marsters son David brought all the officials to do our clearance –…

We are now at Palmerston Island.  We had difficult weather and arrived here in F6 (not F4).  The folk here reported that a ketch had her sails blown out some days earlier and we ourselves experienced F9< and a good few tons of water dumped on our stern coachroof.   LW is certainly a strong…

Beginning though with our transit of the Panama Canal, begun on 17th March after a long delay in Panama, we finally collected the Pilot who was a real pleasure to have aboard. We motored up to the first lock behind a Dutch general cargo carrier and with a catamaran who followed us from Shelter Bay.…

Thousands of miles and no ships. Some difficulties with the ships navigation PC, but a good daily rhythm on board. Flying fish land during the nights and we use them as bait but with little success. Although I got 1 small Mahi-Mahi yesterday which became a nice stew within the hour. I have been teaching…

Having left Dominica in a force 3, we made gentle progress Westwards toward the Venezuelan coast through great long patches of Sargassum weed, which put paid to our hopes of getting fish.   There were occasional vessels that appeared on our AIS transponders including a large cruising ship which crossed our course line from South to…

How can we measure belief systems to see if they measure up to the Bible? This book challenges the reader to start a genuine evaluation of the world’s most powerful belief systems to enable them to see how they affect thinking, decision making and indeed policy making. Like a transparency it will enable the reader to overlay belief systems over the holy scripture to see how they measure up.

Living Water and her crew arrived yesterday 22nd Feb 19 in Shelter Bay Marina at the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal after a good passage across the Caribbean, covering 400 miles in 2 days at the fastest point! Tomorrow the crew are going to a local church and then continue preparing for the Panama…

…and they are off again! After a good time of R and R (rest and repairs) in Antigua and Dominica, the crew departed for the next leg of their journey, 1100 miles across the Caribbean sea. They are making good progress so far and I had a text from them this morning saying: Good wind…

Our departure is logged at 09.50 12th January in an East South Easterly wind at F3 to F4.    We had completed 1377NM since leaving Cowes with varying degrees of inclement weather, but if anyone was fazed by the 2,500 NM ahead of us I could not see it.    The conditions were moderately warm as we…
