Ed and I "Skyped" today - - using the webcams on both of our computers
We spoke for One Hour and it didn't cost us a CENT!! Everyone needs to get a Skype account. You create a User Name and Password, give them a credit card number and set aside a small bank account - like $10 - to use if you're calling a non-skype friend (then it's a whopping 2 cents a minute!)
Great to use for long distance, friends/family in foreign countries. SKYPE is "voice over IP" (internet protocol) Basically, you're talking computer to computer. Or you can CALL US on our SKYPE PHONE NUMBERS (it's a local/US call even when we're far away):
Ed (508)500-0229 SKYPE name: gypsea
Liz (508)444-0684 SKYPE name: LizStott1010
Anyway - Gypsea is hanging out in Bermuda for a couple of days waiting, yet again, for the right weather window! I think they are getting remnants of Hurricane Ida. For the time being, the guys are catching up on emails, phone calls, laundry, provisions, refueling, SHOWERS and SLEEPING.

Hey Liz - great to read the BLOG, and so glad to hear Ed and the boys have made it safe to BDA! SKYPE is great - have used it with friends that have been liveaboards for 8 years or so in some pretty exotic places. even without video, it makes a great way to stay in touch.

Skype is SO cool - - Ed and I had quite a few lengthy conversations from Bermuda while he was there - which otherwise would have cost about $100 each on the regular Verizon phone!
