When reading your account of the trip I really get a new appreciation of what our forefathers went through in going from one continent to another. Glad you experienced the beauty going down to Port Angeles. I agree with the earlier comment, that this narrative would make a good book. Elise you should consider it. Your desriptions are well and humorously written.

Whew! Glad to hear you made it! What an incredible journey! You even got a taste of what early explorers must have felt like…totally dependent on the winds (no engines in those days, either!). Elise, you are such a gifted writer – I still say you have got to capture your blog from both last year and this into a book…it would be great….hey! maybe they’d make a movie. … or a series! You will have wonderful memories and stories for years to come! Love, Doris

Happy days are here again for all of you!! We were certainly hanging on your every lovely word. I even got a little sea sick with your discriptions of the seas. We are happy to hear you, your crew and the boat are all safe.

Whew, but as thay say alls well that ends well. Your constant planning and extreme focus turned it into nothing but a great voyage. Since just about everything was broken or inoperative for one reason or another just what did Roger find to occupy himself? Yuk Yuk. Poor attempt at homor I know. Will look forward to more of the saga. Ciao.

Congratulations! Bet you’re glad to be on dry land! That sure was a challenging trip! Can’t wait to hear all the gory details. Steve and Joanne beat me to it. The Whitman quote was perfect!

Welcome Back!
