    Congrats to you and the crew - glad that the crossing was largely uneventful. Please send a postcard when you have a chance. BTW, we don't have plans for dinner if you want to join us Saturday.

    I have been following your sea journey with tremendous awe and admiration and have learnt so much about life at sea from your informational pieces and stories. I now know what a squall, a boobie a spinnaker and a shellback are!!! I can't even imagine the sense of accomplishment and pride you must be feeling!!! You guys are amazing! Congratulations on your incredible voyage. Chag Sameach and totally inspired! Hope you had the most incredibly restful sleep on terra nova. All my luv, Sheryl (Vancouver)

    Fantastic! Well done. I had no idea you were going to "turn right" out into the ocean. Looks like I have some 19 days of reading to catch up on.

    U guys need to celebrate that you got there safely! I think we are all happy to know that you made it to land. We just got home from Florida and we followed your blog the whole time but could not respond because we did not have internet access to get onto the posting. I was so impressed that you guys did it and managed to make some fairly gourmet meals too! I'm sure you will never forget that passage! Welcome back to land. Hope you sea legs aren't too wobbly.

    Hooray! It's been exciting following along, though I missed few days as I was biking from Menlo Park to Paso Robles with some friends. And I thought THAT was a long trip. Very happy you made it safely.
