Almost There

Location: S 10 08' and W 136 47' We have 123 NMi left to go. Sorry to lag for so long. It seems like this cruising takes an incredible amount of time and energy to keep it going! We put up the spinnaker today and that was a major feat. The wind has dropped significantly and is coming from the east, so we are needing to figure out how to efficiently go downwind and that is easier said than done! Wish it were as easy as you had said.....just wing on wing on down the line! We have been given some calmer seas, along with very little wind and now we are motoring; kind of an anti-climatic ending to a very challenging passage! Hopefully we will make landfall before dark tomorrow and will that ever be wonderful!! We have not fished because we do not want to waste any [time?], so I am trying to be creative with canned goodies and the last of the cheeses and bread. Please give big hugs to Catfish and Larry; wish we could skype but I don't think there is internet at all on this island. Just know that I am with you in spirit. Tell Catfish to pass on some hugs to Rocky, Annie, and Mary as well. I thought about us at the hospital waiting for Tori to be born and am amazed how much of our lives we have spent together. I am so glad you have been here on this planet with me. I will sailmail you next when we arrive. Overall this experience has pushed us to the limits in so many ways, and thank goodness we are about to sail into the beautiful safe harbor, drop anchor, and hopefully share cold beers with some fellow cruisers. I believe this journey is just the  beginning of realizing the dream......think of where we are now. WOW! Paradise, here we come! We send everyone lots of love. Thanks for being there. I luv u
