NOW THAT THE FIREWORKS ARE OVER
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Our freedoms are so precious and in my opinion, too little thought is given to the thankless job of maintaining that which we enjoy. If we do not think beyond today or tomorrow – none of it matters much – but if we stop to consider the price paid by our founding fathers and those who have fought to preserve their vision, I believe that we are mostly unworthy of their sacrifices. Nevertheless, never have I felt so committed to my country and the freedoms that we are provided.
Tonight Ken and I will be departing LAX on the “redeye” for St Thomas and our ultimate destination, Road Town in the British Virgin Islands. We hope to liaison with nephew John Baum at the airport in St Thomas en route to the ferry to Tortola but we have just barely one hour to catch the last ferry from Charlotte Amalee. Thus, we will not spend much time looking for each other in our haste to get to the ferry but if we are successful in making our connection, we will celebrate with a rum and coke and “let the party begin”.
John’s friends, Will and Scott will join us aboard our charter, The Lady Jay II for the first week. We will meet Will and Scott at the North South docks in The Inner Harbour Marina. Friday we will hoist our sail for Norman Island and our first night on the high seas.

We ask that you pray for light winds, low humidity, cool temperatures, no clouds and lots of sun. Amen.
