    Sounds like the start of a bad joke doesn't it? :D
    Just had to share a these two photos that my brother "The Prof" took on his sailing journey. This was in Isla Isabela. A Blue Foot and a Green Foot Boobie.

    Cool Cheryl, I was just wondering about them, if they were still out there or if they were home... Thanks for the pics.

    I wasn't aware there were green-footed boobies also. Thanks for the education Cheryl!

    I'm getting an education too! So many places he'll be visting... so many critters... so many everything!
    I'll pass along all of your nice comments.
    He will be gone for several years... somewhere between 5 & 10 years. He will be literally going around the world.
    "The Dragon" is trying to set sail by the end of the month on his own boat. They are planning to meet up in Panama.

    It is quite an undertaking. They have been planning it for years. They both have blogs set up so we can keep track of them and their adventures. I imagine they may fly home for a visit in a year or so. But who knows?
    I'm glad he's taking the time to check out and photograph the wildlife both on and off-shore (and the local sites).

    Yes, I'm still planning on joining them at some point in the journey. I guess it all depends on where they will be when I have enough money saved up. :-D
