Correct about the techno-changes in guidance/navigation systems in the past few years. Paying wireless int'l calls couldn't have been cheap.

Speaking of island hopping, are you getting in on some good fishing on your cruise?

I fished briefly on the last half of our Gulf Stream crossing but
nothing to show for it except a stolen lure and badly bitten up mono
leader. Must have been something with sharp teeth. Conventional
wisdom is that Mahi mahi will not bite on wire leaders so not much
choice unless you're after the really big stuff.

We've been in relatively shallow water ever since and conditions
offshore have been fairly rough.
