Geoff,

I enjoyed your photos very much. Pity we live at the wrong side of
the Atlantic to visit the Bahamas.

I have just returned from another season of cruising. This season
covered most of the islands of the Bahamas that we had missed on
previous trips and then we returned to the Chesapeake via the
ICW.
As we cruise, I generate extensive logs as well as photographic
albums and videos. These logs, photos and video now cover
virtually
all of the Caribbean and the east coast of the US from Maine to
Florida. Many of the newer logs include a “For the Cruiser”
section
which provides information which I think is useful to cruisers.

Since I returned I’ve been updating the web site with this year’s
material. Most of the logs now include pictures of the area as
well
as links to a Google Maps page which allows people to utilize an
interactive map to see where the log was written from. You can
access this material at http://www.GeoffSchultz.org/

I’ve also created a Google Earth presentation of the trips. Each
anchorage that we’ve been at has a placemark which includes a
snippet
of the log and links to the full log and any photos or video.
There’s a master file which contains all of our trips as well as
files which break down the travel by area and by year. The 2007
file
even includes a “movie” which flies you along our route. More
information on this can be found at
http://www.geoffschultz.org/GoogleEarth/GoogleEarth.shtml

I hope that you find this information interesting and valuable.
If
you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to write.
