I hope this kind of incremental trip blog is still ok - I'm necessarily bumping my thread with each installment. Please let me know if this is annoying and I can find a way to consolidate. A single trip report for a 3-week trip just isn't that practical.
For me the incremental approach is preferable. I usually don't have the patience to read a long trip report all at once.
And thanks very much for writing up your experiences (and the same to all others who do so). It's been way too long since our last charter, and you're helping me keep the dream alive.
