Excuses for not blogging

In response to the numerous messages I've received, the MERCY and crew are fine.

I have not had internet access in a long time capable of posting the blog.

Tropical Storm Chantel pretty much dissipated before reaching the Bahamas, the windy conditions we'd had the last month persisted.  We had a 50 kt squall or so while we were tucked in the sweet anchorage at Thomas Cay.

My friend Dorothy flew into Staniel, and spent a week. 

My friend Vicki flew into Blackpoint, and also spent a week.

I will update the blog when I get a chance, and maybe finally get some photos on.

I learned yesterday that my mom is in ICU in the States, and appreciate your prayers for her and my dad.
