We’re 48 hours out and 312 nm along, 144nm in the last 24 hours. This mornings conversation was whether we’ve been sailing for 2 or 3 days. While it’s been 3 calendar days, I can’t rightfully call it 3 days until 48 hours has passed. The winds have been light and directly behind us. This is the slowest point of sail and the most difficult to fill the sails. So with a full main and flapping jib, we headed up off course a tiny bit and managed 5kts all night. This morning at first light we put up the spinnaker and are still only going 5.5kts, but at least it’s on a straight course to our way point off of Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Eric gets grib files from the ham radio which show us weather maps and a text forecast. It looks like the weather will remain the same until tomorrow night and then the wind will move a little to the north. This will change our point of sail to a beam reach and hopefully we’ll get more power out of the sails and speed up a tad. Good news, no one has thrown up in the last 24 hours. Yesterday’s meals were crackers and top ramen, today we had crepes for breakfast. My crepes are more like my Croatian Grandmother used to make than like the French Island vendors make, we didn’t like those French ones. A lot of men deal female levitra with embarrassment, awkwardness and even shame when going to a physician for an erectile dysfunction drug. And keeping eat more fruit, do exercise, and maintain good mood viagra pills and health habits. They continue generic cialis prices to deliver output to the people by harming their overall health and increasing their sales. Such problems are viagra no prescription cheap common, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. The recipe is in the Joy of Cooking under French pancakes. I pour 1/3 cup of batter into a large skillet, swirl it a bit, flip once, then fill with pie filling, wrap it a little and top it with powder sugar. Lunch is buttered pasta with ground beef, broccoli and Parmesan cheese. Dinner is baked potatoes with leftovers to fry for breakfast with eggs. We listened to the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, then the kids watched the movie in the evening. I need to get back to reading Mr. Bowditch today, now that I don’t feel sleep deprived with a head ache anymore. All we saw last night was one brightly lit cruise ship. I figured they were watching some lounge act and discussing plans to browse the midnight buffet. About an hour ago we spent some time on the bow watching dolphins ride our bow wave. Roy counted 8 then Genny spotted one more. Groups of three or four crossed back and forth in front of Makai.

Proverbs 2:4-5 King Solomon speaks of Wisdom
if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.Ephesians 2:8-10

Over the last 10 years I've decided the best way to know what God expects is to attend Bible Study. I have two favorites: http://www.communitybiblestudy.org/ has great programs especially for women and children together and lately I've been attending http://www.precept.org/ for a very in-depth study of the bible. Try a bible study to learn all about what's in God's book.Check this out
Ugh! I’m getting seasick just reading this! You all are TROOPERS!!! We will lift you all up in prayer for smooth water and the kind of wind that you need (sorry, no sailing experience, here….). Hope you all have your sea-legs by now! Hang in there!!!!
