Lucky to Be Alive

Very grateful that the 3 of us - Barry, Lynne and Sunrise - are alive and well. The sun is shining, a butterfly just fluttered by and we are bobbing around in a beautiful cove. Not anchored, mind you, that would be illegal because we haven't checked into New Caledonia yet. Last night from 3 am to 7 am was another story. 8 knots of wind forecast. The highest we recorded was 42 knots. Then there was the lightning, thunder, rain that stung your skin and almost blinded you, the howling rigging and the ocean crashing over the deck. I told Barry that if we are struck dead by lighning, I've loved being married to him and loved our life together. I don't know why the lightning didn't hit us with our mast sticking up 50 ft - the tallest thing in hundreds of miles.

Anyway, safe and sound so far. Bob around here until this afternoon when we leave for Havannah Pass, arriving in Noumea and check-in about 2 or 3 pm.
