Dreams come true

This has been a sweet day, not just marking the end of a voyage, but the beginning of a new life and adventure for Pamela and Paul.

As we anchored off the beach at Cabo (awaiting our slip) Pamela pointed out the pink hotel along the sandy strip: "Years ago we had drinks at the hotel bar and looked out at the boats anchored in front and said 'One day that will be us out there, cruising'. And here we are, today is that day," she said, a bit teary eyed.

What an incredible pleasure and gift to be in the company of friends making their dreams come true (once gain) and to be a small part of that process. It's been a marvelous sail from San Diego to Cabo: P&P are bright and delightful; their sailing skills excellent; their ingenuity in solving boat problems is impressive: they are truly 'ready for blastoff' ... I am thrilled for myself too - for having the chance to meet and befriend such wonderful people, and for raising my own bar. Everything on the trip went incredibly well and everyone got along great! It has been an absolute blessing.

So of course we celebrated - with dinner down the boardwalk here, then dancing at Squid Row and Cabo Wabo late into the night! Possibly a late morning tomorrow ...! Over & out! XO
