The final posting just in!

Family and Friends:
This will be our final communication until we return.  We will fill in some of the blanks over the weekend, in between sleeping and eating a whole bunch of salads!  The ocean has been rather lumpy the past 48 hours, with 30ft swells and gale winds of up to 36k.  We’ve had waves hitting the sides, trying desperately to come inside, but we’ve done well in keeping out the water.

Our engine overheated this morning again, so we are currently dealing with that, but we think we can just do what we did before.
 What we’ve learned in the past two days has rounded out our whole experience.  I believe there are some bets going on at the yacht club as to when we will actually hit the GG Bridge.  As for Roger and I, this has been another epic experience for the two of us.  With 160 miles to go, give or take a few, we are certain there will be winds, just hopefully in the direction we need them to get us back to land.
 Love to the fam.  Pam
