Agreed, that was a great movie, but you may want to wait until you're safely back on dry land before you catch it David!!

Yeah I watched captain Philips, it was a good movie. I'm
not too worried about pirates down where we around. It's 1500 miles to closest land and I think that is antartica, not 100% sure but I don't think there are a lot of pirates around there! When the ship left the ship yard in Korea and sailed for NZ they did have security on board for the pirate risk

Ok so those of you with Google earth might find this interesting. We started at 45 42' S 172 47' E and have sailed where we are now at 52 31.4' S 75 32.5' W just outside the straights of Megellan. We will stop here for about a day while we try to recover our life boat that is half hanging off the side and wait for the harbor pilot to show up tomorrow to guide us through the straights making the passage from Pacific ocean to Atlantic Ocean.
4,500 miles down, around another 1,500 to go
This morning we came outside to find all the brown mountains are not white. And then it started snowing on us. It is cold.
if you need security let me know. haha
Well we have crossed the straits and have made it to the Atlantic. Our current coordinates are 52 21.1' S 069 03.0' W for those of you with google earth. I took some pictures while in the Straits that I will post as soon as I can get them on PhotoBucket
So yesterday I got off the ship after a rough 8 hour boat ride! Here are some pictures on the striats of Magellan
