We finally turned on the motor yesterday around noon and are about ready to turn it off and get back to sailing. The seas yesterday were flat calm, it was beautiful. We watched the sunset together last night – and saw the green flash! Then the sky continued to give a spectacular show for another hour – was so beautiful!

We transferred some fuel this morning and the wind is picking up so RED’s about to become a sailboat again. All is well aboard, Richard is about to cook breakfast and Fran’s about to enjoy it!

Cheers!

Fran & Richard
