Arriving at Cape Canaveral, US Submarine.
Dec. 4th, 2008
When we arrived at Cape Canaveral we saw a US Navy Submarine. It followed us from the sea into the harbour. The radar beeped randomly, we did not know what it was. We thought we were going to hit a ship, until the VHF radio told us to stay 1,000 meters away from the military submarine coming in. Then we saw a coast guard boat with machine guns on it. But they were not going to shoot us.
Au jour’hui je suis arrive dans Cape Canaveral! J’ai vu un sous-marin. Un sous-marin est un bateau qui va sous l’eau. Le sous-marin est prêt pour une bataille.

Hi guys!! It’s just past 4:30 pm (Toronto time) and I’m posting to say this is a wonderful blog — and your trip is captivating our interest tremendously! I love your boat — I hadn’t seen it before I got your (business) card before you left, Ed, but even though I’m not a boat lover, I told Lois that it was one of the nicest looking boats I’d ever seen! I’ve just gone through the rest of your posts and was really interested to see how things have turned out. I don’t think I’d make a good sailor, but your adventure certainly makes one think they’d like to try! Keep posting pics as you go — they’re really terrific so far. Thanks very much for letting us ‘travel along with you’ by means of the blog — we’ll pray for safety and that your adventure is full of thrills and excitement (as well as some serious ‘lazy’ time! This brings a new meaning to Christmas this year — what are you going to do for “snow” once the 25th rolls around??
