Editor’s Note: We aren’t always in port: we need time to get to the next port, which can take a day …or more. As you’ll see in a minute, that’s not boring for us, but rather a welcome time of rest. But first, we popped back up to Spain to pick up spare parts before touching the African continent again. -rc

Ports of Call: Off to Africa
Editor’s Note: Columnist Marti Eicholz reports on the ports we visit. Click her byline for a list of her columns. I still think every 10 days or so will be the right pace for these, but we’re already far enough behind that I’ll pick up the pace here and there when needed. -rc
Ports of Call: Getting Our Sea Legs
Editor’s Note: We have a new columnist! We met Marti Eicholz on our way across the Atlantic in April before cooling our heels for four months in Belfast. We quickly became friends, and once we got going she started to write for her friends about the interesting ports we were visiting. I asked Marti if we could give her evocative writing a larger audience, and I was pleased she said yes.
