You and Jessica out there alone, doing amazing things for mankind. Showing the weak they can be strong, showing those not confident they can achieve, and most of all showing everyone that you can live your dream. Congratulation to you.

I'm yet another Jesse follower, hope you don't mind us coming aboard..cheers! <br /><br />Read your blogs with interest...<br />awe inspiring stuff. Stunning pics too, especially those magnificent sunrises and sunsets. I envy what you guys are privvy too ie, the changing moods of mother-nature, but not so when she vents her anger. Cape Horn will be bit of a breeze compared to your stormy encounter prior to docking in Freemantle. <br /><br />Anyway Dilip, hope you have a safe and speedy run to Cape Horn and give Jesse a wave as you go by. All the best to you and your crew and look after Mhadei...she's been thru a lot. :) Will check in from time to time.<br /><br />Ben (Qld)benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425768928337189649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670929240268214947.post-90017327642368634902009-12-28T13:26:17.890+05:302009-12-28T13:26:17.890+05:30Great writing style!

How nice that you both mentioned one another on your most recent postings.<br />It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do on yours, so I won't say much. (I don't want to make a fool of myself asking questions you've long since answered.)<br />I never know what to say in terms of wishing a sailor good luck..."smooth sailing" may not be what you are there for. For a trading ship I'd have thought that, but for someone circumnavigating the world there is a good chance there is a thrill seeking element and smooth sailing may be just too darned boring. So I'll just close with, "enjoy the ride".<br />Take care,<br />TracieTracie Lynne Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151184946152636251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670929240268214947.post-64062675129823224632009-12-28T08:08:59.970+05:302009-12-28T08:08:59.970+05:3012-27-09 @ 21:40

I haven't read you past blogs yet, but I look forward to doing so. I have a lot of respect for all you sailors that will venture out into the unknown. I’m to old to take on a challenge like that so I do it through people like yourself, thank you. Take care, be safe, stay alert and I will keep you in my prayers.<br />Michael (74)from Kingwood, WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670929240268214947.post-88950379916660071952009-12-28T07:33:40.505+05:302009-12-28T07:33:40.505+05:30Hello Dilip, Another one from Jessica's blog ...Hello Dilip, Another one from Jessica's blog site and looking forward to following your progress.

What a pity we didn't hear about you in Sydney as you passed by Australia. We were probably all absorbed by Jessica's preparations. It's amazing that the two of you are in the same bit of ocean, given how much water there is covering the world's surface. Hope you two keep a good eye out for each other. It would be awful to bump into the only other boat for a million miles! :-)<br /><br />Good luck with the winds and your boat. Does "Mhadei" mean anything in particular? Apologies if you have already explained that in another blog.
