  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

  The Grabs started their circumnavigation in April 2007.
