We have one channel on the tv that gives us constant location and heading information, and every day at noon we get average speed, distance and weather information as well. At this minute, our latitude is 32 degrees, 29.42 N and our longitude is 33 degrees, 37.9 W. Our course is 78 degrees and the speed is 15 knots. On ship time is 21:25, 3 hours ahead of EST. We have been advised to advance our clocks one hour when we go to bed, the fourth time we have done this in the last 5 days.
Our average speed over the 24 hours from noon yesterday to noon today was 15.71 knots (down from around 21 knots for the first 3 days). And as of noon today we were 1545 nautical miles from our next port, Cadiz, Spain. We were told that one nautical mile is about 1.15 miles and a knot measures nautical miles per hour, for those interested. Since Miami, we have traveled 2200 nautical miles.
Thanks, Mike, for the weather web site. We'll check that out!

Hi, Theresa,
Sounds really real,now! And sounds like a wonderful life! I will definitely encourage Dennis to look into this. We are now getting into a few specifics of wedding plans, such as choosing a date. So far we have decided to have a small, intimate wedding, possibly at the cabin out West, and a separate celebration for all our family and friends to join us in Columbia. Since we want the two different locations, the separation in time will allow the boys to attend both. Celebration will probably be in Sep or Oct. Will keep you apprised as things develop. Sorry you didn't get to hook up with the boys in Miami. Brian let me know that he did hear from you. We had a wonderful Christmas there with the boys. I will include you on the see pictures list. I assume you can get email occasionally... Have a wonderful time, we'll keep checking in...!
Love, Sharon
