This  map works fairly well on a slow Internet connection, but is ineffective if we have not been on board for ten days or more..

You can often find us on www.MarineTraffic.com, by searching for Milvina in the Vessel Name box

You can zoom in on this map as it is loading.  Keep the red dots roughly in the centre
Click on  "Show log entries" at the bottom of the map to see notes on what we were  doing in each location.
Hover your mouse over a red dot for a short note on the status on board.

2011 was  good to us, with Michael opening his law office in Vancouver, Derek gaining  his Teaching Diploma in New Zealand, and the old folks being about 2/3 retired, while still enjoying mixing working, skiing and sailing.  

We made a 4 week trip West in January, mostly to ski Whistler, but also to see friends and drove home via Tucson to see Helen's Mum in her winter home.

In 2011 sailing was from France to Norway and Sweden, heading for Germany.

Michael finished his final year in law school at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in May 2010, passed his Bar exam in December, and finished articling in June this year.  He spent a few weeks sailing with us, then headed for Beijing by the Trans Siberian railroad, then on through Vietnam and Laos to New Zealand.

Derek  finished his Arts degree in May 2010, then took some extra courses, and went to New Zealand in February 2011 for a year's teacher training course.  He is now home, and is headed to live in Calgary at the beginning of 2012

In addition to the page on each of the family linked above, there is some history of previous sailing activities.
