Subject: Exodus – South Minerva
We had a great day here, but we were so spoiled with beautiful weather last year during our Minerva stop that it’s hard not to notice the difference. The snorkeling is, of course, amazing, and while Tim and Brenden didn’t shoot the tuna they were looking for, Tim did get a jobfish, which was a tasty addition to the potluck we had on Lumbaz last night. It is so much fun watching all the kids together, they reminded me of a group of cousins getting together. There were 8 kids last night, Alex the oldest and Nils the youngest (age 5) with boys and girls of all ages in between, and they were all singing and playing and the youngest and oldest were always together. The guys all went for lobsters last night, and Nils wanted to go so bad, and when they told him the other young boy (Michael from Field Trip) wasn’t going hoping then he wouldn’t want to go either, he said, “it’s OK, Alex is going!” So cute! Anyway, there are bags of lobsters hanging off the back of Exodus this morning so it seems they were successful! We intend to move 20 miles away to N. Minerva today.
Love and miss you all,
-D.
