CAPTAIN’S LOG Starship: Cruisemaster Stardate: 11-29-08


Technology update:
Unidentified anomalies have attacked the fragile IT connections that normally allow communication through normal blogging channels. Our systems were down for several days.
With no contact with our base we realized we were on our own. We knew we were in trouble when we were unable to post pictures to our blog at 55118.
Jeff says that adding pictures to a blog post is like pouring jet fuel on an open fire. And with no jet fuel we knew we would be losing readers. In these difficult times we need all the readers we can get. It’s easy to become disoriented when you are in this condition. Worst of all, you don’t realize just how serious it is. All you want to do is sleep.
But like the Apollo astronauts returning from the dark side of the moon we are elated that all was well. We have come through this with little more than a few days that we can’t account for a single minute of.
So here’s to you… (and anybody that has ever been in a coma or a catatonic state for more than a few hours)… our first photo transmission… Jeff and Wendy in the command center… The Captain says…”all systems are up and running”.

Welcome to our new blog


We have decided to create our own blog where our readers can go directly to our site rather than go through the 55118 site. Our friend, Linda (from 55118), was very gracious in setting us up with that site, however, we were unable to post photos, so we decided to just start our own site on Blogspot.

We will now attempt to archive what we have already posted on 55118, and then continue with a new posting for today.
This photo is of our current camp site at St. Andrews State Park, right off the Gulf Coast near Panama City, FL. This park is filled with pines and palms and sits right on the ocean. More photos to come.
