Yes, even committed sailors return home for some family time. I (Mary) had a wonderful visit back in Pismo for a week. It was luxurious to sleep in my own bed, see the amazing family, and celebrate life with friends! Oh the many things we take for granted, even flush toilets! A definite highlight was being in the winter wonderland that is Alta, Utah and skiing with Teresa & being fed by Tim. I cherish you all! Kirk even managed to feed himself & survive without me.

Tomorrow we leave for a sun kissed week @ the islands and a rondez-vous with cruising friends.
