First blog from the boat!

Its been a bit like Christmas this last week with lots of packages arriving.  Most notably my new laptop, which I can really use since I am now officially unemployed and don't have a comfy office with a computer and high-speed internet connection. I ordered a HP from BestBuy for $289, which included free shipping, even to the VI which is pretty rare.

I also received my new Garmin 441 chartplotter and g2 chip for the southeastern Caribbean.  The screen is a little smaller than I thought, but I like the overall functionality of the unit, and it should interface with the VHF/AIS unit I have on order, which will allow me to see and track shipping traffic while offshore, which is pretty cool. 

Most importantly, I received my documentation from the Coast Guard, so now I am legal, and free to roam the world.
