Steve One never knows what the next day will bring...life is all about change, growth and learning. Lift a glass of wine to Steve some evening..he would like that. Enjoy each day.
Annapolis... I just love reading your blog! Similar to reading a good book, I look forward to the next chapter! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
Steve We went to Steve's memorial. It was quite a tribute to him, so many people showed up and shared stories about his life.
The family gave out a sandwich bag with grass seed and a golf tee to each person. It was a beautiful day.
You go! Sorting books at the Ulysses Library book sale yesterday, sports section- largest number of books by far are about sailing. Where the heck did all these sailing and navigation books come from? .............. oh!
good to hear from you I know as you get more and more involved in the travel those of us you left behind will grow dimmer and dimmer. It's good to hear from you and to share a bit in your adventures. Please keep the blog coming.
Glad to hear Janice and Bob I am glad to hear that you are having an enjoyable time on your trip. Looking forward to following your blog and being enviuos and when we start the life aboard possibly seeing you on the water or if you come north.
Have a safe and healthy voyage.

The New Season It is officially fall in New York and with it comes all the new night time TV as new series compete for viewers. It looks like there will be a few shows I will look forward to watching on a regular basis. I say this because that is what your blog has become for me...my favorite series to look forward to and as a nice break from the hectic..yes hectic school day!. I like the map as I find it interesting to see exactly where you are on your journey! SAIL ON!
Delightful! What a delightful entry that I received today. I am so glad that you are finally finding out what it is all about. I would guess you already had a good idea, but am so glad that it is all coming to fruition. The moonlit evenings and the early morning sun shots are exquisite. Thank you.
Nice to be "on board" Hi Jan and Bob. David sent me your blog link so here we are. What a splendid way to keep up on your travel adventures. We will look forward to hearing more about your progress on this wonderful journey and to seeing you at some other place in this world. We will be in Barbados early May, 2011, but don't have any other trips planned for the time being. Will keep you posted if anything changes. Take care.
Our Pleasure It was our pleasure to host you two as part of your journey and thanks for making us "Internet" famous! Be safe and stay in touch! Mike, MJ, Tom and Chris.
If you get a chance to pick up a copy of Cruising World (Sept. issue) you will find an article written by Jonathan Gerlach!
Keep your blog coming. We are really enjoying it.
We might have come to the boat show, but Joan and Dick Germain are having a 60th wedding anniversary party that week end in Oswego. That seems to be stopping a lot of folks from the show.
love your adventures I am really enjoying the ability to follow your travels. The pictures are a bonus as I get to see what you are writing about in color!
What You're Missing You two have had quite the adventure already. Guessing you didn't expect to encounter a hurricane this early in your travels, but am happy you are both okay. School started Wednesday and we are using locker rooms, the wrestling room and equipment closets as classrooms. The staff and students are making the best of it. We also have not figured out why the bells aren't working. Paul thinks there may be a short in the wiring where all the water was used for abatement. Being the creative group that we are, we are using an old hand held school bell which we ring while the intercom is on. Karen and I have a system where she sets the alarm to coincide with the block changes, and I ring the bell. It causes a chuckle from those in the office at the time. The auditorium is amazing. With the acoustics, the size of the stage and the sound system (state of the art), we could hold a big time concert in there. Bob, I know you are doing what you always wanted, but know you probably miss the kids and wanted to give you a little update on "What You're Missing"! I look forward to reading more about your adventures.
Hi,
Great pictures, you guys. The photo of the sailboat next to the tanker was especially amazing. It's crazy how small you really are compared to some other vessels out there. It sounds like the trip is going well and you are adjusting to life on the boat. I hope you have smooth sailing towards the Chesapeake and into Annapolis for the boat show. I enjoy reading your blogs and seeing the pictures.
Love, Laura
Totally enjoying your pics of your adventure. Just picked up the current "Prime Times" and wonder just who you know at the paper! Not the front page, but just inside is Bob peeking thru the steps on the mast. Says "Bob Waller, featured in our last Prime Times, is now well on his way around the world." Celebrities .......who knew! Enjoy and be safe. Judy and Jim
Your adventure I love hearing about your adventure! It is the first day of school with staff and I took a break to read your exiting tales of meeting people. It warms my heart to ear of the other folks who have assisted you as you sail. I never knew that monarchs loved Bob. Hmmm... Butterfly Bob!
canal /waterford Appears you got down the canal in the nick of time. We had 3 to 4 " of rain in Interlaken. Driving the thurway I saw the locks by Little Falls had logs and deris backed up 10 feet or more. The next day they had a barge with a backhoe on it pulling the wood out of the water. The water was almost as high on the bottom side, as the top side of the dam, that much water going over. We enjoyed Waterford when we visited in 2005 on our canal trip.

great! Photos wonderful - sounds like you're getting the "kinks" worked out and all the parts in the right places. Never thought of the Hudson as majestic - but you got to see it in a whole other light. Wonderful to hear from you and hope Earl passes so you can get on with the trip. Sounds like every day is fun so far. Thanks for the great blog news...you're doing a terrific narrative. Good Luck.
Snug Mooring Glad to get your message about being snugly settled while Earl does it's thing. I was thinking of you and the storm but wasn't near a computer until know to check up on you. Take care. Looking forward to your next blog.
Pictures WOW, your pictures are wonderful!!! Keep them coming!!! Hope all is well and that you are anchored down somewhere safe from Huricane Season! Love, Barb.
Dear Janice and Bob,
I'm already enjoying the trip through the canals, thanks for taking me with you. Looking at the photos and seeing all the work you have done it must be wonderful to have all of that behind you. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Janice, I still miss you on my walks. Be safe and I'm looking forward to your next posting. Cheers!!
Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal. It's time to sell the house, get rid of whatever doesn't fit on our 40 foot Caliber LRC named Tsamaya (this means Travel Well in Setswana) and set off to see the world. Our reasons for publishing this blog is twofold, first to keep in touch with our friends and family and secondly to share our experiences.
