Hi All

  After a whirlwind tour of Delhi, Jaipur, Haridwar, etc… we are back on DoraMac.  It was quite the adventure.  We saw the sun rise over the Taj Mahal. We watched as people bathed in the Ganges in Haridwar.  We had a tour of the Jaipur Public Library and we visited a Synagogue in Delhi.  It often took 5 or 6 hours to get from place to place as the roads are crowded with trucks, buses, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, buffalo carts, camel carts, equine carts of all sorts and even Elephant!  And lanes are just suggestions and not something one must stay in.   I took a zillion photos.  I am back using my computer with my Outlook so things should go more smoothly.  If you didn’t receive the one email I sent, it is posted on www.mydoramac.com.  Lots of emails came back to me and that seems to happen when I use the web yahoo.

We will leave Cochin sometime during the first week in March for the Maldives where the list of boats to be shipped is growing as more cruisers reluctantly decide to ship rather than make the passage.  As you can imagine, the Quest and piracy are uppermost on the minds of most cruisers.  But no one is packing up and going home.  We’re all just moving ahead to another part of the world and thankfully there are still parts of the world that welcome everyone.
