As most of you know we came back to MN for 4 months.  One month longer than we had planned as Spirit cancelled our flight back.  It was great to see family and friends.  We do miss experiencing life with you on a day to day basis so keep us posted via email or let us know when you are available to skype.  The weather was wonderful with dry and cool temperatures until October when we were able to experience snow and cold.  We both worked odd jobs to help pay for Sojourn’s expenses while in the marina.  We were blessed with friends allowing us to housesit or share their home (Thanks to Carl/Joyce, Judy/Larry and Marge).  Also a big thank you to Vicki for her love/support, assisting us in managing our townhome and mail.  This certainly makes being away alot easier.  Its always hard to leave as the unknown and adventure can be unsettling.   But then you go back to the sailing life and it feels right.  So live whatever dreams you have! 

 

On our way back to Cartagena, Colombia, we took a brief stop in Del Ray Beach, FL to visit Tom’s cousin Jeanine and husband Ram.  It was great to get to spend time with them, be warm again and walk in the nearby marine preserves.  They certainly made us feel welcome!

 

Our Love Always
