A quick update. John has his new delivery crew together and should be starting the trip home early Tuesday morning (Aug 26). He'll turn the transponder on again so we can track his progress. The new crew seems like a good bunch of people and should get along well together. There will be 5 total, which is good in that it gives John the flexibility to not have to stand a specific watch and he can handle things as they come up as well as the navigation and checking the weather. John should be home by mid-September.
