I wrote back on April 29 that I was worried about my friends Jack and Ruth Livingstone who were trying to cross the Gulf Stream in their 25-foot sailboat. I actually got quite worried when I didn;t hear anything from them for over two weeks. However, I did get an email today that they have made it safely back to New Orleans.
They seem to have been in quite a hurry and got through Lake Okeechobee and at least as far as Appalachicola. They left the boat somewhere and got a bus back to New Orleans. You can read their scattered blog entries here. Glad to know they are safe and sound.
