Matt it’s so great to be able to read about your journey. I can’t wait to see you.try not to forget about me.
Hi Mark! We talked about your NW passage plans in Annapolis 2010 and a year later you had done it. Congratulations – a hell of an accomplishment. Smallest boat worth very little but with a very determind skipper. I assume that you try to do this non stop but if you need any parts for your Monitor we will try to help you out. Keep going and conquer the Horn. I think that you are sailing into the record books if you are not there already. GO FOR IT! Hans
KEEP ME POSTED. ADD A “NAMED” PLACE LOCATION
TO LAT./LONG NOTE SO PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE A MAP/CHART OR
CAN’T DO THE CALCULATION KNOW APPROXIMATELY WHERE
MATT IS THAT DAY. E.G. “OFF COAST OF CHILE AND EXPECTS
ROUND THE HORN ABOUT……..”
Merry Christmas Matt. You have a standing invitation to joins us in CA next year for Christmas. Keep a look out for that North star. Smooth sailing
Stay safe – especially around Hatteras. Watch out for those ships! Will be there to greet ya when you return to Annapolis – mid April?
