Message from Milo Coldren
The crew sail / look after the boat better than him.
Appreciate all the families and supporters present
at the radio broadcasts, very humbling.
Due to the progress being made, Thursday could be the
last night for radio transmission.
Enthusiastic family members were joined by Kimberly and
the children who took the opportunity to speak to their
loved ones on board.
