Sorry about the blog the past few days. I just realized I sent
\nit the wrong way and it will be filled with all sorts of 2=Hs
\nand other junk.
\nAll is well on board Sabbatical III. We each did a 6 hour shift
\nlast night which really helped us in terms of getting caught up
\non sleep. Amazing what one can do for six hours in the dark to
\nentertain oneself: an hour of staring at the stars, an hour of
\ndancing with the head-set on to get some exercise ( while
\ngripping onto the captain’s seat to keep steady), a couple of
\nhours of serious music listening on the IPOD, and a couple of
\nhours of absolute zoning out will do it. We have not seen
\nanother boat for the last 3 days, but you still have to keep
\nchecking. Finally got some good wind today, which required
\ntaking down the big head sail ( the ballooner), but now we are
\nwhizzing along at 8 to 9 knots and making some progress. Only a
\ncouple of THOUSAND miles to go.
\nL.
\nP.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MOM TOMORROW! WE ARE GOING TO CALL YOU.
\nWE WILL CALL BEN’S CELL PHONE NUMBER TO REACH YOU AS WE KNOW YOU
\nARE ALL GOING TO BE TOGETHER IN SFAT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
