Second Wind on the Great Loop and Beyond: Computer Woes!

Computer Woes!

Monday, February 26. Our computer security software, good old McAfee, has gotten so very secure that it has completely blocked us from Internet access. (Hint, never download their free, enhanced upgrade.) No email, no blog. Lots of frustration! If you are reading this, then we have either temporarily disabled McAfee (probably) or we’ve figured a way to get around it (unlikely). Arggghhh, technology is gonna kill me yet (even though I love it when it works).

I'm still keeping the blog offline, but we hesitate to remove McAfee for good. We'll continue to troubleshoot and hope we will be up and running again soon. Keep checking back. I haven't been able to respond to emails, but I've read them. Thanks for staying in touch.

P.S. We've been to St. Augustine and are on our way to the St. John River for about a week. This is a sidetrip off the ICW.

It's still flakey. We have to disable the firewall to get anything posted. Frustrating!

About Me

Name: Second Wind

Location: Huntsville, Alabama

"Second Wind" is the name of our 34-foot PDQ power catamaran. Since we bought it in 2006, Bob and I have found "Second Wind" to be a comfortable, innovative, well-thought-out boat – perfect for carrying us on our Great Loop adventure and beyond. Cruising America’s Great Loop meant traveling the entire eastern portion of the United States and Canada on a continuous route of inland rivers, the Intercoastal Waterway, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes. The 6,000-plus mile trip usually requires from six months to several years to complete. It took us nearly a year. When we eventually “crossed our wake” on the Tennessee River, we had experienced the thrills of crossing large, open waterways like the Gulf of Mexico, the Chesapeake Bay, New York Harbor, and Lake Michigan; narrow, winding rivers; and a varied system of locks and canals. We had seen amazing cities and towns from a unique waterfront perspective, and we had relished the solace of quiet anchorages, miles from civilization. After our Great Loop adventure was completed in 2007, we have continued our cruising adventures. This journal is our way of sharing the fun.
