It has been great fun meeting people this trip, and having old friends on the boat with me.
Saturday was clean-up day. Yes, typical household chores: laundry, make the beds, vacuum, defrost the refrigerator, and wash the dog kind of stuff. We're at 30 17.370 081 25 142
Kenny arrived with his mom shortly after lunch, and I had the privilege of showing this dear sweet lady the Mercy. I loved to see the sparkle in her eye at the helm of the Mercy.
On Sunday, Kenny picked me up for church, and I enjoyed attending St. Paul's by-the-Sea Episcopal church with the congregation there. What a beautiful building, with great acoustics, and a huge pipe organ.
Afterwards we went to lunch, Kenny took me to the grocery store, and then to the airport to pick up Ben.
Ben Carlson is a great young man, the son of missionaries who grew up in Fiji, and Tonga. He's a boater, a surfer, a free-diver extraordinaire, spearfisherman, and an all around great young man that God has great things in store for. (I wonder if I can convince him to do the blog this week?)
As I was putting groceries away, and Ben was unpacking, he asked me if we'd eat much seafood. When we started to cook dinner, a couple I'd met that morning arrived to see the boat. They'd been out fishing for the day, and went home and returned with a redfish, which we cooked on the grill. Isn't it great how God knows the desires of your heart, Ben?
We'll keep you posted as the adventure unfolds.
