There are good ships and wood ships
And ships that sail the seas
But the best ships are the friendships
And may they ever be...

The Return Begins

Music left the fuel dock around 2pm Tuesday. The wind is building for a few days - at least according to the kite boarders and they would know. We didn't activate the transponder until just before they left and it appears we didn't do it right. I've sent them the info about how to activate so hopefully we can see their progress in a few days.

Here's the first update:

Hi Dear,

Position:
22 deg 38min N; 157 deg 44 min W;
I'll check the transponder tomorrow. Close reaching and uncomfortable, but reef main and stay sail doing well and still giving us approx 6 kts tonight.

Love,
Me

Will they still get comments if we leave them here? If so here's a combination diving/sailing joke:

A diver/sailer was shipwrecked up onto a lonely and tropical shore. As he stood up he noticed his hands were purple, he looked at his feet and they were purple, worriedly he unzipped his wetsuit and his chest and stomach were purple. With his head in his hands he cried, "Oh my God!, I’ve been marooned!"

Oh that's bad. Had to pass it along. Have a safe voyage.
