Received another location through the SPOT gps system and Finisterre is either right at Providencia Island, or very close by. On Google Earth, satelite view they are there! I found a few photos of the islands-- Providencia and San Andres which belong to Colombia. These will do until I get photos from Miike and his crew.
I imagine they are resting and getting ready to check in to the country -- the islands belong to Colombia. Their stay will be short, but they'll have time to go to the stores and internet and explore the island a bit. Then, it's off to the
Caymans.

Message from Mike by sailmail --email system that uses the radio on Finisterre--
We arrived at Chicime Island today, and just getting settled in. Tomorrow we will go over to Gun Boat Island and see our friends. Hope they appreciate the business cards. We then need to find a needing Ula owner who needs a sail that we brought. John bought a mola, and we gave some things to families at Chicime. I found out that one of the safety systems that Mike has on board-- a thing called SPOT which has a gps and ways to using the satelite to connect to other's email and Google Earth works great. I have seen their location on Google Earth and there are also pictures at the site which I'll attempt to put here, too. It's a great relief to know the parts we gathered up and sent with crew Steve and John are working and they're enjoying the San Blas! Kay -- at home in Ukiah after last big chemo treatment and doing great! |
