While we’ve been away from cruising, the most wonderful thing happened: Sean and Maggie added a new crew member, Bjørn, to the family. He’s the sweetest, most adorable Little Mate to be found anywhere.
Over the past winter, the Captain and First Mate of Pelican stayed in the home port to help show him the ropes. (We had the privilege and joy of taking care of him two days a week. The best adventure!)
Now it’s time for this crew to cast off the lines. We were able—just barely—to tear ourselves away from our Little Mate for a shortened cruising season, our next Bahamas adventure. The crystalline waters and secluded coves are gifts of God's handiwork whose beauty feeds our souls. The even better gift is connecting with old and new friends. Then heading back to our home port to be with friends and family there, especially the new crew member who's stolen our hearts. {And on this date thirty-seven years ago, the two of us had our first date. Another pretty good gift!}
