We thank all of our viewers—over three million hits to date—for following our adventures and moments of bliss sailing our 43-foot Catana catamaran Pacific Bliss around the world.  She completed her circumnavigation, crossing her outgoing path at 10:05 on August 28, 2008, for a total of 33,996 nautical miles.  Pacific Bliss has been sold to a delightful couple from the U.K., so her adventure continues.  Gunter and I are landlubbers in San Diego now, when we are not traveling or chartering.  We will continue to blog about our ongoing travel experiences.

Many of you have asked whether a book is forthcoming.  YES!  I have been diligently working on this project, called In Search of Adventure and Moments of Bliss: Sailing around the World on a Catamaran.  I expect it to be available sometime in 2010.  So keep on checking this site.  If you would like to be on a notification list (no obligation to purchase) let me know, Contact us
