Dear Jo, lovely blog. Any chance of emailing some slightly higher res copies of these photos which are really excellent.
It was fantastic to see you at the event and risking AWOL was worth it! Love Tot and Peter more…
Hi Jo, the usual very interesting blog - many thanks. Standards must have slipped in the Merchant Navy - feet on the desk and civvy clothes!
I have just been speaking with an old friend here who is off to the Antarctic in December repairing buildings and museums. He is working hard getting fit and has a practice session on an old nissan hut more…

should be a bit warmer and more comfortable than a Laser II on Loch Ken in Galloway! Mind all those gin palaces when coming into moor up, especially if Dick is on the helm. Love Tot and Peter. more…
Safe and fast journey home, Jo. Give us a ring when you are back in Blightie. The blog has been great and the photos - as usual - brilliant. Love Tot and Peter more…
WowJO,
Wonderful photo's, you are so lucky to see those sights.
You have said when down in the South Atlantic you will be out of comunication range for a while why is that? Best wishes. Mick. more…
Hi Jo,
Brilliant blog and photos. Is the boat more about getting impressive landscape shots of bergs etc than science?!
I have just spoken to Mick and he is similarly impressed.
Look after yourself, love from Tot and Peter. more…
I really don't know how you have the time, let alone the energy, to keep this thing up to date. It takes me all my time to read it all! And, YES, I'm still jealous!
Hi Jo,
I was singing your praises to one of my work mates about some of the wonderful photos you have taken 'down south'.
Do you have a site where you store them or are they all att to emails that you have sent to you r Mum and Dad.

Wow! What a trip. It's a joy to read your account. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and safe journey home. PS I agree with you about Sydney and Barcelona - but wouldn't like to put them in an order of preference!
