SV Sound Effect was on a mooring bouy and was eating lunch when we arrived. We found out they have a grandchild - Owen. We are so excited for them! We had Jim & Connie over for dinner. We opened Mumm Napa Champagne to toast their first grandchild! It was a very calm and peaceful evening.
Just a reminder - when we are out of touch and can not get an internet connection, we use our single side band radio to e-mail a message to our friend Karen. She thens posts what is on our e-mail message. We are allowed each day on the single side band radio about 15 minutes of air time, so the e-mail we send to Karen is outgoing only, as we want to keep our posting as to our position. For the most part you know Karen is posting when there is no photos or video, only text. When we do get to a port/location where I can get internet I post all of photos & video and we read all of the comments. We love this part and enjoy each and every comment!
After ten years of planning a trip around the world, we have given up our life on land to head to bluer pastures with the hopes of staying young as long as possible. Our mission is to have fun while moving about the earth. [...]When we finally return to dry land for good, we hope to have seen most of the worlds shore line and experienced things that can only be experienced at 5 knots Of course if we find a place we like and stay there for an extended time, that's ok too.
We have two boys and two grandson's and several friends and family of all ages. Our hope is that those we know will decide to spend some time with us. Life is enjoyed most when you share it with those your closest to.
