Mojomo in Hiva Oa
.
Matt has now reached Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia.
I've only got up to the end of Feb with Mojomo.info, but the full account Galapagos - Marquesaas can be read on the Mailassail blog. I keep nagging Matt to post / send some pics, perhaps one day he will . . .
Bet he secretly wishes he was here in Argyll - sun is out today, though it doesn't look as though the temps wil make double figures.

Bit OT but have you thought about an rss feed poster on the .info site reading the mailasail feed. RSS Poster is one wordpress pluign I've used in the past which seems to work well.

The whole point of the .info site is that it is a better-formatted permanent record that Matt can add pics etc to whenever.Matt21 wrote:Bit OT but have you thought about an rss feed poster on the .info site reading the mailasail feed.

I don't really see thet point in an RSS feed, if people want up to date blog posts 'as they happen' then bookmark the mailasail blog. Matt has been blogging at least once or twice a day while at sea - some good stuff.

Silly sod - the lakes are inland waters and therefore not tidal.

Re: Mojomo in Hiva Oa
Well, webstinge - as it happens, I went al the way to the land of the Long Runny Nose because Wully had expressed a taste for the Yule Beer.
I was not my fault that he sloped of to the skiing when I was in Ardfern causing me to drink the beer. Anyway - fer a man who has tacked home pished at my expense on severeal occasions you should know that Claymore is a man of his word. Any more of your defamatory nonsense and it will be a duel at dawn ye four-eyed wee scunner.
