My apologies to Mark Twain for associating my humble Antarctic expedition blog with his masterpiece, The Innocents Abroad, published in 1869.  If you haven't read it, stop reading this blog now and come back when you are done.  The only similarity between my blog and Mark's book is that they are both accounts of a sailing adventure and the people encountered along the way.

During the next 8 weeks I will be recounting our trip sailing on 'The Spirit of Sydney'.  I cannot promise you Mark Twian's literary craftsmanship, but I do promise no references to Gilligans Island or similar cheesey devices.  I will post photos until we are at sea, then publish a more comprehensive gallery when I am able.  I will be able to post text updates while at sea. 

The adventure begins.
