About this blog

Hi all,

I've created this travelogue in the hope that you don't get bored with bland bulk e-mails. I'll try to make it as interesting and exciting as possible, although as I'm sure you know, English is not my strongest subject! The plan is to sail across the Pacific from Ecuador then head into Indonesia and beyond (as far as the money takes us!)

Enjoy
