>Toni Payne arrived last Tuesday to help crew! She was looking forward to assisting with the Palm Springs to George Town, Bahamas leg. Instead, she’s getting the true picture of sailing listening to us check the weather everyday and mutter, “Not Today.” Its been blustery and from the North for days and we don’t expect any change until Monday. Toni has been spending each morning with Jake pouring over Algebra II and Physics. (New crew requirement: Must be able to recall high school math and science). We’ve also swam and snorkeled at Peanut Island and decided to make the three hour trip you-know-where yesterday. We really thought about passing on the touristy theme park side trip but, well, if you have a four-year-old who happens to love Cinderella, Mickey Mouse and fast rides, can you really ignore such close proximity to the place where wishes come true? We just hoped Toni wished for a South wind.
>oh what fun you guys are having. How could i have ever left????? I miss you guys so much and might just be seeing you in the Bahamas, if all goes well. Am glad Toni came to be w/ you. Please be safe and know my thoughts and prayers are w/ you all. love,love and more love
