hang onto your hats people.....times they are a changin'. I am back from L.A., Allen has settled in from his Southbound adventure and our buddy Danny shows up today for SIX fun weeks aboard Ute. We're saying goodbyes and wrapping up loose ends here in Roatan in anticipation of our departure on Sunday or Monday of next week (probably). The sewing machine is stowed, along with yards of Sunbrella and lots of other sewing crap. What a relief.
Baby Graham was all I imagined and more....a wonderful little fellow. Thanks Julie and Vanessa for an amazing time. Astonishingly, Julie has somehow found time to put together a charming website with some great photos. Check it out at www.gng.babywindow.com. (Click on Photo Album, then Weeks 2 and 3 to see Aunt Cora bonding with Baby G). What an incredible family.
Allen enjoyed his week on his own aboard Ute although he did have to put out a couple fires..a bolt in our raw water strainer gave up the ghost which led to a sudden influx of sea water into the cabin. For those of you who are not familiar with marine engineering, this is more commonly known as "sinking". There was some urgency to the matter as this happened while Allen had part of our standing rigging detached to rebed some chainplates. But the flow was slowed and eventually stopped, and the offending part replaced. The moral of the story is, wait until your spouse is present to detach any part of your standing rigging.
Well it's off to the airport for us, and hopefully we'll come home up one crewmember.

We missed you at parents meet the riff raff tonight, but ate some birthday cake or yours. Darrin's parents certainly remembered your birthdays. Fair winds on your trip North. We're coming down to the last few days. Hope Danny is settling in well. Also, we established our blog, no real entries yet, at craigandevvy.blogspot.com. Best,
Craig and Evvy
Birthday greetings to you both again. Will have to party later this year - hugs nmc
