Luckily, it looks like our crew are very pleasant, competent people. And luckily, the weather has been good so far. Passages are typically days of boredom followed by moment of shear terror. With only three days into the boring part, I am hoping we skip the terror on this trip.

Very nice Mary, I knew you could do it!! That first glass of champagne will be exquisite. Best of luck. Smooth sailing.
Glad you decided to do it Mary – you would have regretted not doing it – you are a sailor extraordinaire now! Congratulations – now the fun begins. Looking forward to more photos and blogs – yes we live thru you vicariously!
