I’m jumping ahead here, but I just had to post this photo. Thought it might be the only one I’d manage on the boat, but the wireless internet on my laptop is far faster than the desktops in the internet cafe. Plus, Firefox is so much prettier than IE 🙂

I think it’s a suitable photo for being the halfway point in this project. Maybe one of my favorites all year.

Taken last night at 10:30 PM (about an hour after the sun set) from the balcony in our cabin. It was a five second exposure (on a tripod, of course), which is why the ocean looks completely flat. The lights in the small town on land are slightly blurred because the boat has been moving quite fast, but I kinda like the effect…

Also, I cropped it to get the panoramic effect.
