    Okay, I think you need to rename your Leg 7 “Hollow Leg”, to the “Chata Loca”! It looks like you were taking full advantage of the “chata”…love the photos…you all look like you are having too much fun…I think Leg 5 Ladies were a little bit tamer than you guys…can’t wait to hear all your stories, if you can remember them, that is!
    XOXO…Ms. Wendt 🙂

    can’t swim, can’t fish, can’t sail, but since it appears drinking is a prerequisite I’M In ! the rest will come after a few shots, I am sure……
    Liane, good to see you are having fun my friend, look forward to hearing all the stories when you return, take your time and enjoy, Hello to Mike and the crew as well

    Ahoy Liane, Mike & Crew. Looks like you are having some amazing FUN. I was wondering what keeps ya all from falling overboard wilst balancing that briefcase? Or is that when you decide its time for a swim with the dolphins? What an mind-boggling voyage! Looking forward to seeing more pics when you get home, if you decide to come home. Cheers! Mar & Jim
