Circumnavigation Wrap-Up
March 2004 -- Temple, Texas
Thank you for joining us along our
journey and for participating in this site. There are so many people
around the world who made the trip even more special. I won't list
all the names, but you know who you are -- thanks from the bottom of our
hearts! And to our family and land friends who helped us with
communications, parts shipments, financial transactions, and other
logistical complexities as they arose -- we love you.
I will continue to post port
notes, photographs, video,
and FAQ answers until I get caught
up. And I'll leave the site online for a couple of years in case
future voyagers find any of the information useful.
In the meantime, we are soaking up this
wonderful feeling for a while. Then it's time to resume our careers
and get back into the swing of American life. May I wish you all the
best. May you be healthy and prosperous. May you too have the
opportunity to live your dream.

Letters
Home Removed
9 September 2004
The text of the "Letters Home" section is
temporarily gone -- sorry!. I am writing a book on our
circumnavigation, based in part on those pages, and have been advised to
remove them from the site until the book is published.
Hylas
54 -- SOLD! -- New Owners
18 August 2004
We are very pleased to announce that Heartsong III has
been bought by Stu Elliott and Sandy Tamillow. They moved aboard in
early December 2004 and are enjoying the boat in Fort Lauderdale. Soon they will be adding their own updates to
this site. We wish them all the joy in the
world as the adventure continues.
Site
Contents
Letters, video
and photographs; the circumnavigation route, with
notes on ports, passages, and international vendors; description of the boat
and her equipment, supplies, and maintenance; answers to questions
about voyaging;
sailing publications by Liza and/or about the boat;
communication with Heartsong III; links to other
sites about voyaging; and a search utility for
this site, which is probably way too big.
