The first leg...

of my working voyage with Zegrahm Expeditions for the next month, exploring northwestern Africa and Macaronesia, is shown on the map below (click to enlarge):

We'll exchange passengers in Malaga, Spain, in early May and then head back into the Atlantic and ultimately to the Azores on the second leg (I'll post another map at that point). It's certainly my intention to write a blog entry including several images each day during this month-long adventure, but sometimes connecting to the Internet while at sea can be problematic.

This will likely be my last post from the States until I board the ship in Dakar.  Until then, here are the itineraries for both expeditions:  Leg 1 and Leg 2.
