They're Back!

John and crew were officially in protected waters around 7pm Wed.  That means they entered the Straits of Juan de Fuca.  They tied up to a dock in Neah Bay, which is a small bay just around the corner from the entrance to the Straits.  They had a dinner ashore and their first showers in 3 weeks.  You can imagine how good that felt.  And hopefully a good nights sleep.  They were in cell phone range so I was finally able to talk to him and he sounded good.

Early Thursday morning they will get fuel and start the long day to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island where Anne and I will finally be able to hug our husbands again.  Anne is Dick's wife, who is one of the crew for this leg.

Surprisingly, John likes the idea of he and I taking a few days to get to Bellingham and just cruise around and re-acquaint ourselves with our old/new cruising area.  But he did make a promise that this was for fun and no boat projects.  We'll see how that holds, but for now I'm just really happy that he's within a day of me seeing him again.

Thanks to everyone who followed their voyage and helped bring them safely home with their good thoughts and wishes.

Ciao, Gail
