Subject: Exodus – Mom comes today!

We are back at Musket Cove and later this morning I will take the ferry over to the mainland to meet my mom. We are so excited she’s here to cruise with us. Unfortunately, there is actually a tropical low-pressure system to the NW of Fiji and it’s going to dump some rain on us over the next couple days. But mom’s coming from hot, hot El Centro, so hopefully it won’t be so bad for her. Here at musket cove, we are back with a few other kid boats, and one of the other ones is also from California, and they had the physical fitness standards with them. So, we had all the kids participate! They were amazing! They ran a mile, did pushups, sit ups, and a few other things. Bottom line is that even without regular sports participation they are all well above the “healthy” threshold, and Brenden and Gigi (12-year-old girl from Nirvana, she and Brenden were actually born on the same day) scored presidential level in all categories. Tim is back with his spearfishing buddy, Hans from Nautilus, so they are going to go out fishing today while I go pick up mom, so it will be up to the boys to finish their schoolwork and chores without reminders. We’ll see how that goes…
Love and miss you all,
-D.
