[PUP] Kosmos heads across the Atlantic

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

All hands--

Last week, when I posted the riveting account of the scariest night 
aboard Kosmos, I didn't know the blog was two months behind real 
time. I've now heard from Eric and Christi Grab aboard their Nordhavn 
43. Here's the update:

>We are crossing the Atlantic now. Here is our position 
>http://saildocs.com/map?ll=25.70333,-18.80333&z=1. The blog is 
>behind real-time by 2 months at the moment. But it is loaded with 
>stories, so it will keep updating while we are crossing (see About 
>the Blog page on the site for more details).

>We left from Las Palmas, Canary Islands two days ago and we are on 
>the way to Guadeloupe. It is a 2750nm passage. We expect it to take 
>19 days and burn about 1000 gallons of fuel. We have a crew member, 
>Colin, who is the soon to be owner of Nordhavn 40-65. All is well so 
>far.
>
>We plan to complete our circumnavigation by returning to San Diego 
>in May 2009, then will go back to "real" life.

The Grabs started their circumnavigation in April 2007.
