Day 6: Wind At Last!

Nuts! I just missed a satellite phone call from Toby! He said that they're all doing fine. They have 650 miles to go. Maybe they will be there on Sunday night, but more probably they will arrive on Monday. They've finally got some wind, and turned off the motor for a while. John caught a mahi mahi, and they'll have it for dinner tonight! And they will open the first bottle of wine then, too, to celebrate the catch.
Norm's wife, Lee, called me, too. She also got a call from Norm. He says he hasn't shaved since they left on Friday! I hope he keeps his beard until they arrive in Tortola! And I hope Toby has one, too, since I've NEVER seen him with any amount of beard! We'll see. Lee and I fly into Tortola on Sunday, and hopefully we'll be on the dock to greet them when they arrive! What fun!
