Departure Delayed

Good morning. Happy Birthday to Joe. Today is also a sad day, as it was one year ago that our former employee and friend, Trisha Carlson was killed in a car accident. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

Just a quick blog post to let you know we've delayed our departure by a day. We had blustery winds yesterday and the weather forecasts predict that the front will diminish today, so we planning on heading out as soon as the sun is directly overhead so that we can pick our way out through the coral heads and the narrow pass. Yesterday two more boats made their way into the lagoon. They made a few aborted attempts and then stood off for a couple of hours, but they ultimately made it in safe and sound. Hope that bodes well for our departure. I'll update the blog tomorrow morning while we are underway.
Cheers...
