Long Delayed Update

Thursday, March 19, 2009

Well sorry for the delayed update but not much drama and high speed action to report. (Stay tuned… lots of juicy news and announcements soon!) Since arriving home last Thursday I’ve mostly been going a bit fuzzy in front of a computer screen as well as catching up with everyone back here. I’ve been discovering that sailing around the world is all about planning and organizing. So while we have a break in all that action I thought I’d take the time to answer a few of the questions that I’ve been asked recently.

Jess, I just learned of your voyage in a sailing magazine last week. All I can say is wow! Be assured that people will be supporting you and praying for you all the way through. I do plan to follow your adventures. What ever happens, the experience will no doubt be valuable all through your life. I am happy for you and wish you all the best!

Been talking to your auntie kath today at UCOL and you really are an insperation. My daughter is 15 and i would love for her to sail around the world but hopfully it would take her about 3 to 5 years and then she might be over that teenage stage. We gave up everything to move to New Zealand two years ago and the best advice that we were given was that "when you are standing on the edge and its a long long way to fall,JUMP, only then will you know how great it is to fly" Oh and if you have too much chocolate i could store some here for you.... Well done, you are already a hero so now just go and enjoy yourself.
