After less than 24 hours, my Covid-19 test result has come back as negative for the virus. Not a surprise but a big relief and never have I been so happy to have a cold...or, at least, just a cold. Also, as Vandy and Eric correctly noted, this may be the first time I am truly happy to have failed a test! I am no longer banished to the back bedroom in Hillary's house, although, of course, I am being careful about not spreading this annoying but less threatening virus to Randall and Hillary.

Thankfully this has been a very brief episode of anxiety and I am grateful to those who had time to send messages of sympathy. Despite having been fairly confident of a negative result, this episode has made me much more empathetic with people in areas with rampant Covid-19 but with a largely non-compliant population concerning the use of masks and social-distancing. Thank you, Jan, for directing me to the following website about the value of masks in this pandemic: https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/coronavirus/opinion-dr-malcolm-butler-why-you-should-wear-a-mask-it-s-the-air-you/article_998e2394-b5a1-11ea-b609-27e947f1e3fe.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=user-share
Even if they are not as effective for colds and 'flu and if mask-wearers are in the vast minority here, we will certainly be wearing our masks on the public transportation on the way back to Port Stephens.

Now, I will sit down with Hillary (not too close and with plenty of hand-sanitizer) to identify some of the plants in the photographs that I took on our Cascades walk...for the next blog.

Vessel Make/Model: Morgan Classic 41
Hailing Port: Gainesville, FL
Crew: Alison and Randall
About: We cast-off from Fernandina Beach in north Florida on 1st June 2008 and we have been cruising on Tregoning ever since. Before buying Tregoning, both of us had been sailing on smaller boats for many years and had worked around boats and water throughout our careers.
Extra: “Tregoning” (rhymes with “belonging”) and is a Cornish word (meaning “homestead of Cohnan” or “farm by the ash trees”) and was Alison's mother’s middle name. Cornwall is in southwest England and is where Alison grew-up.
