Geo: 25.6415, -78.4177Left Bimini one day later than planned. It turned out to be the best thing we could have done! Had a PERFECT day of sailing! Even got visited by a pod of dolphins! We anchored on the Bahama Bank (kinda the middle of really shallow ocean) for one night and then continued to The Berries the following morning at 6:30am.... read more

Geo: 25.7167, -79.3Feb. 4th, 2014 – Here's our picture blog!Hi All,I have been working like crazy to get ALL of our pictures uploaded for your viewing pleasure. I have created this only a picture blog. But I am required to put captions for each shot - and if there's more to say you can find it to the right of the pictures when you go into each album and view them one by one. This covers OUR WHOLE TRIP (and then some!)Travel Pod is not a fancy site, and it's lacking in many features, but I'm amazed at how quickly I can upload my pictures to it. I tried about 4 different sites in the past two days and this was the only one that could run on the bandwidth I have available here. I've also ... read more

I'm heading for the Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal to escape the Arctic vortex. Boarding at Ft. Lauderdale was a piece of cake and it was great to see the crew's smiling faces and be able to head to my cabin before the Mariner's Luncheon. The location of the Vista Dining Room as at the stern, not to be confused with the Vista Show room at the bow. My cabin is far forward so I get to burn a few calories before each meal? It's my first cruise on the Ziederdm and I am impressed with the decor and the condition of the public rooms. Unfortunately, the furniture in my cabin has been loved to death and the hide-a-bed sofa's spring has sprung and looks awful. My dinner mates are "happy people", I'm too old to ... read more
