translation:Hi there. Given orkansesongen.Har we found that the time is running out for oss.Vi too late to seek shelter in Mexico, as the plan was. Before orkanseongen plague that værst.Det most fornuftigt for us “rookies” is to head north in the spring and south across the autumn. So our nose turns to Canada and New England.Since attracts so much more to spend the summer in a quiet place in a bay with huge natural surroundings around oss.Litt like Lars Monsen on tur.Enn to be constantly afraid that a hurricane will blow us away. But things are changing quickly as you can see and tomorrow is a new day with new answers.

Translation:September 04, 200804.09.08.Sånn approx. Did you know that in the United States write the month first. Strange!Ship o Hoi for all you landlubbers.Internet and the boat is no easy kombinasjon.Da we returned to the USA in June, a storm had killed our fancy Wi-Fi antenna.It came back forje week after two months of repair California.Det positive was that we only had to pay 15 dollars in repair and 10 dollars in shipping.The same week also harbor Johns wallet at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay. This happened on a stormy and dark night on the way back to Freya.We took the dinghy into Annapolis to shop and say hello to friends. The waves were big and tight, and within half an hour had his wallet, proppelen smell of large stones.The food flew everywhere and darkness crept on. Then there was the seat I sat on knakk.Jeg managed to keep me there!Short lead bankort is already ordered and on its way.As we had planned, we went not to Canada. We decided to get to know Freya Chesapeake Bay isteden.Og rather go to the Caribbean a little earlierthan the others. Of course, when it is safe and hurricane and storms have given themselves the worst. We have even found us a small paradise inners in a bay,where we are surrounded by a nature reserve with lots of birds, fish and green jungel.Det is even a small island with a beach and a sandy bank where we can swim.There we spent the last five weeks when we have not been out and slid. It has been wonderful and just relax after 8 months repairing and fixing up the boat.I think we may soon begin to call ourselves sailors.Our next big race goes south on intercostal Watervay down to Florida. For so to sail in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. But before we are completely down, you hear enoughfrom us again. We have very good and kooooooser us.Hope you had a wonderful summer and a mild and warm autumn in the meeting.Everyone is still very velkommem visit.Please feel free on our site, show you understand how. Or mail.Vi is also curious about how you have it.

Translation:04.10.08. Hello again. This has happened more than this in a month that is, but it’s like a little difficult to slice down everything.Now I sit in the living room to Connie. A lady we have become familiar with and have been so kind that she has opened her home for oss.Vi borrow the shower and washing machine asOften we want. She makes really good American food, so we’ve been here mye.Hun also has a jet ski that is very fun to borrow.Now we are on the way down, in three days we are out of the Chesapeake Bay. The channel can almost only use the engine, because it is so crowded. So we have to drive about 8 hours of engineevery day to have time to meet Bjørn Erik in Florida, who come to visit and will be with us to the Bahamas. Jippi.Vi’re very excited!We’ll try to write every day, show there is something exciting and we have online.This was a little short because there is ALWAYS something to do on the boat.We are very fond of you all ….
