Many web spiders and nefarious spam merchants cruise unsuspecting websites looking for the “@” sign to gobble up e-mail addresses. As we are not interested in increasing the size of our whatever or making scrillions of dollars by bailing out some Nigerian widow with our bank account number, we have dispensed with the customary link that wakes up your e-mail program. Instead, please read the following aloud to determine our e-mail address. “pedersens at emmajo dot net.” Sorry to be so simplistic, but we have to fight the bastards with the only simple tools we have. When we have the single sideband radio, we can send/receive limited email over the radio waves. The email address there will be “WDD5559 at cruiseemail dot com.” When using the ssb address, please do not forward documents, images, or jokes, as we are downloading over the radio and cannot open them!
Regular Mail
Our mail forwarder is a wonderful company — St. Brendan’s Isle. They send us the stuff we want (like cards and letters from you) and weed out the stuff we don’t want. Contact us by mail:

Telephone
Both of us have internationally capable cell phones. The numbers are: Ole – 786-385-3616 and Jan — 360-440-2137. We will use these when we’re in the States. A recent $900 phone bill convinced us to buy a local cell phone for day-to-day business use here. The number in Panama is 507-6415-4537.
