More Emails of Support

We continue to receive emails of support from around the world. Thank you for the encouragement.

At dinner time we often talk about the emails that come in. This usually leaves us even more excited than we were the moment before. Sometimes an email will be packed so full of excitement and energy that you can feel it. Here is one we received at the end of last month (with certain parts omitted to protect privacy) that captures this:

Bill and Val,

You guys are awesome!!!

I was looking on the internet for a boat capable of sailing from California down the Pacific coastline to Panama and coming through the Panama Canal and hitting many spots in the Caribbean. My plan was to do this when I retire as I was going to try to find a boat somewhere in the 35’ range in California and then sell it at the end of the journey. I spoke to [DELETED] about it and she is up for it as well. Not too many women would be this open minded. Bill, you and I are the lucky ones J

[DELETED] We are both love the water and the tropics! We will need to learn how to sail….

We have been to many places in the world fishing and diving as well and enjoy all that life has to offer.

We hope to stay up on your journey and wish you the best of luck and beautiful sky to sail by. If you need anything back on land here in the states while you are gone…just give me an email or call [DELETED]

Take care,

[DELETED]

The author and I are indeed fortunate. Both of us who have spouses that are enough like us to take a trip like this.

The author has a zest for life and is definitely a kindred spirit. I wish this person safe travels and I desire the chance to meet him, and his wife, out on the big blue.

Thanks, again, everyone for the support.
