Life Updates:
Today we have settled into suburban life in Mill Valley, California. Seth went back to work in the Wine Industry as a Marketing Director for Treasury Wine Estates and Elizabeth re-joined GAP as a Merchandising Director. We now have TWO kids; Hale Jefferson Hynes was born on May 25th, 2010 and Rhys Thomas Hynes was born on August 22, 2011. We are enjoying the challenges of parenting and are busier now than ever! (In the picture above they can be seen already enjoying the ocean on their Grandparent's boat in Cape Cod).
Contact Us:
We continue to receive a large number visitors every week and welcome emails with questions. Nothing would make us happier than to share the knowledge we accumulated during this voyage and to help others shove off!

Pictures: Our son, Hale Jefferson Hynes!
At 3:09pm PST on May 25, 2010, Hale Jefferson Hynes came into the world weighing in at 6 lbs and 14 ounces. He was a bit of a surprise considering he wasn't due until June 8th, so needless to say it was far more interesting of a day than we expected.
Hale was my Grandfather's middle name (and mine) and Jefferson is in honor of Elizabeth's late Father. Family names ruled the day.
Mom and baby are doing great! Hale kept quiet for most of the day but managed to peek around by opening his eyes and even eating a little. So far he has had very little to say other than he wants to register as a Democrat (after all it was nice of Obama to be in SF today), he told us we wimped out by not finishing our sailing trip around the world, he hopes the Tiger's win the World Series for Detroit and that he doesn't like Merlot. He has also been tweeting at the following address if you want to follow:

Sounds like he already plans to be as opinionated as his parents and will be one hell of a crew member! What a great way to end our blog...
Love,
Seth, Elizabeth and Hale
