| During our stay in La Gomera, we watched two rowers prepare their single-man state-of-the-art rowboats for an epic journey across the Atlantic to Antigua in the Caribbean, 2700 miles away. At 8 am on January 1, they both departed the marina. (Two days later one returned due to severe stomach pains, but the other rower continued on in his 19-foot rowboat, making the voyage to Antigua in 88 days.) |

| On Sunday, January 4, after a lovely stay in the Canary Islands, we too departed La Gomera on our passage across the Atlantic to Antigua. But, unlike the first voyage by Columbus into the �unknown� Atlantic, we were lucky to have an abundant wealth of information and equipment at our fingertips. |
