Today's report is from Rebecca.
Good morning from WD. I can hardly believe that our home WD is on the move from St. Thomas, VI to Washington state even this far into the journey. As the water passes under the hull I am at ease with the motion and enjoying the cooler breeze. When we left St. Thomas March 17th, I had a tear in my eye and a smile on my face for the next big adventure. This journey has covered miles of open sea, some stops at great locations, and we have met some incredible people. Someday our kids will look back and realize what a life event this was for them but for now it's just another sailing journey on our home. We all have childhood stories of great adventure wether you were in a city, farm, island or out to sea. We have lots of time to share while out here and one of my favorite times is when the kids tell of the crazy days of the farm or Water Island and their air soft gun wars, selling coconuts to the tourists, sleepovers, fishing for sharks, sodas on Bones and the list goes on. They are now talking about what being on a dock will be like. Questions are flying, the main question is, can I have a bike? It makes my heart happy to see my family excited about the next chapter in our lives. It reminds me to be childlike and not to stress over the unknown before getting the facts. At this point Emily and I have channel fever with WA only being 2,000 miles away. We daydream of what's to come when Captain reminds us to enjoy the rest of the voyage. So today I will focus on the beauty of today.
