Circumnavigating with David, Mango and the Shearwater

For those of you who have not been following the show - almost each week, unless not possible, David Pollitt calls in to the show at 5pm from wherever he happens to be, in port or out at sea, via Skype or SAT phone. He brings us up to date on his travels and adventures, hair-raising trials and breathtaking successes. He and his wheaton/sheepdog Mango and crew Zach left West Palm Beach in mid-June, late in the season to be sailing into the Caribbean. Storms and difficult winds dogged their progress all along, forcing them to change course for a safe harbor in Cuba along the way. His crew have come and gone and he is now in Cartegena, Colombia. He called in last week (8/28/09) but on Colombian time so the show had just ended as I picked up the phone in the studio. Too bad. We will have a chance to hear from him hopefully this Friday (9/4/09). In the meantime I cannot urge you enought to check out his blogsite. He has just downloaded a film clip of a band of musicians called Quinto Bar taken in Santiago De Cuba. Its fabulous. But dont let me convince you, go to www.mangoandme.net to see for yourself. Plus you can locate where they are, read how he describes the sailing legs and follow along on their journey via Google Earth.
