This is my journal, as I traveled around the world on a working freighter. My 4 month journey began in Houston, Texas on October 16th, 2008 and ended exactly where it started, on February 21st, 2009. Because I did not have internet access, special thanks to Dave and Laura, who cleaned up what I beamed in by satellite.

First Post through the satellite phone
Yesterday and today, I've been working on communication issues. While I won't have internet access, I am now able to update this blog through my satellite phone connection. Made contact with the agent in Houston. Tonight, the Rickmers Jakarta is headed north from Panama. I'll be driving south early Sunday morning. Still need to buy a few items and pack. So far, one suitcase is almost full of books.
