Hi there, your website is fantastic, and your journey sounds like fun. i am doing a similar thing and currently trying to set up a website, its just me and my dad doing it in dreamweaver. We are fairly inexperienced with setting them up, but would love to know how you get your blogs organised as you do, also why and how you put ads on to your web page. Your help would be appreciated.
My website is http://www.ocean2ocean.co.uk

Hello Lads,
been following your journey with serious envy! Well done for making it accross the Atlantic.
I was sailing around Antigua, Barbuda and Guadeloupe last year and I have 2 travel tips for you:
1) Spend sunday night in shirley heights, english harbour on Antigua - there is an awesome hilltop party with >1000 revellers! Its worth timing your visit to conincide with this as we found it full of off-duty Virgin air hostesses. Would be a great place for christmas / new year.
2) Catching fish is easy around there, just find a red octopus-like lure about 4 inches and troll behind the boat, use a 40-60 pound hand line and I’ll bet you catch something every day. We caught Tuna and snapper most days. Don’t eat the barracuda though, they are poisonous when big.
Enjoy yourselves!

So pleased to see you are nearly there! It seems a long time since we set off from Poole last October with so much excitement and energy at the start of the Long Sail Under. What adventures you must have had along the way. My year out finishes on Monday so it is back to the reality of work and home. Yours has a little further o go. Lots of luck on the last leg and when you get to Sydney.
Much love,
Jane X
