Google Earth

To those of you who are interested in watching our progress, I highly recommend you install Google Earth (http://earth.google.com/) if you haven't already. It's free and you can enter coordinates for search criteria (which I will be posting here as time and connectivity permit). The app will "fly" you to the location so you can view local info, user posted photos, and of course, satellite imagery. Warning - it's a HUGE time drain.

For starters, the boat factory is somewhere in this area: 46°46'52.69"N, 1°25'49.67"W. When plugging coordinates into Google Earth, you can just leave out the ° symbol (use a space), i.e., 46 46'52.69"N, 1 25'49.67"W, for example. The boat is scheduled to exit the factory on May 5, and from what I understand, we will be able to watch it's progress as it's delivered across the Atlantic from France to Annapolis, MD.
