Why so long for the update?

You would think that getting Internet would be very easy as you move across the distances we have. Unfortunately that has not been the case. We are now at a location where Internet connectivity is available, however somewhat unreliable. It seems strange that we finally had to get on a ship (Yes, we have much more to tell. However the current Internet connection may be better in the morning.) for that to occur. Oh well, the updates should be much more regular for the duration of the trip.
