- How long will it take to get to the Caribbean?
We don't really have a timeline on how long it will take us as we have no schedule in mind - if we are having fun we will stay in different places along the way longer. Winter will be pushing us south (along with lock closures), but hurricanes may keep us north. Given all of this, it will most likely take a month or two to get to Florida, where we plan to do more work on the boat. We will head off to the Caribbean after that. - How do you shower?
We will shower using a solar shower filled with sea water and then do a quick rinse with fresh water from our tanks. A solar shower is simply a black bag with an attached hose and small shower head. It is filled with water that the sun heats up over the course of a few hours. - Will you have your cell phone?
No - we will be using our SSB radio for communications when at sea. We will use a laptop with Wi-Fi for e-mail and Skype phone calls when we are in harbours or use internet cafes. - What about pirates?
There aren't any! .... Well at least there aren't any that go after small boats - they prefer the large freighters that have large amounts of money on board. - What does SVGeru stand for ?
SVGeru stands for : Sailing Vessel GEoff and RUth
Many people when cruising are known by their boat names, so we thought this way our names might get remembered too ;)
More to come as the questions come in...
