almost there!!

It's interesting, we're only 60 some miles from land, but we can't see it, smell it or in anyway tell that today is any different than when we were half way across. Pete is pretty disappointed that we will arrive in the dark, as he's always dreamed of this landfall. We should be there by 2 a.m. or so and the moon is almost full, so I assume it'll be awesome. The anchorage is well marked and apparently easy in the dark. In the daylight the island is visible from 20 miles. I'm not sure if there are any lights on top, so who knows when we'll see it.

We talked to Wyndeavor this morning and Mike's mother is in ICU, not expected to recover. Please pray for the family. Wyndeavor is still only just half way across and he's feeling awfully stuck. We'll check into flights etc when we get there and let him know what the options are for getting home.

The boat is getting awfully dirty and disorganized. It's just too hot to be below for long, so we all do the bare minimum and then go back out for air. I can hardly wait to get some buckets of water to wash everything in. We are doing great on drinking water in our tanks, but will be glad to get more from land for laundry etc. The kids have been doing lots of projects with construction paper. Even though I sweep daily, there are bits of paper everywhere. At least they are staying busy.
