Good Afternoon.... The question has arose if I am still posting to the blog. I to intent to a trip summary and photo highlights of the many places we visited in South Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. I apologize to any followers for the delay in new posts. This trip was by far the longest and most difficult. As a result the blog has gotten away from me. We have concluded with 4925 nautical miles under Pairadice's hull.
