The Polar Bear will be the rockingest yacht ever ever.

What exactly is the Polar Bear? Why does it warrant chronicles?

The Polar Bear, quite simply, will be the rockingest yacht ever ever. I have decreed it so. The Polar Bear is the working name for the as-to-be-yet manifested Nauticat 44 yacht that will take Simon and I around the world.

The Polar Bear seems like it will be a fitting name for this yacht. We have decided on the Nauticat 44 because, not only is it solid and comfortable for world cruising, it is also built for sailing in cold places as well as warm. The Polar Bear will be no Med-cruising plastic fantastic. No, it will be a salty seafarer that boldly endures the cold slaps of the ocean in far-flung corners of the world. Arr! Since polar bears are fierce, smart, and formidable creatures, they are worthy of representing our similarly fierce vessel. Most importantly, Simon won't be embarrassed to say its name over the radio.

Since we have such adventurous and lofty plans for The Polar Bear, no mere log would do. It needed chronicles and I was just the chronicler to do it. Conveniently, these chronicles will also provide (I hope) a source of entertaining reading for our friends and family who want to hear our tales of daring-do or are just curious as to where in the world we are at the moment.
