Sunday morning! All hands on deck!

Scrubbing brushes in hand the crew are literally swabbing the decks of Mokum on this fair morning in St Johns.
Yesterday they were challenged to participate in a race that was organized there in the bay. I don't know how they placed but i I am sure they will all have enjoyed themselves.
The last I heard Erik, after 3 hours on the phone with the technical department, had finally managed to resolve the issue of the laptop, program and sat phone all working together. Although I have not noticed any mails coming our way just yet.
Long time friends of Jan Pieter and I, Joanne and Warren Bitch, are on their way to St. John's today to offer support and say goodbyes. I will get there early this evening and Martin Shelley and David Meier will arrive just after midnight tonight.
Monday morning we will all be reunited. I am looking forward to breakfast.......I wonder if Pim is rustling up that specialty we all had to drool over when the first pictures came out?
Thanks to all who have posted comments. The guys on board will be able to tune in and read them when I get there with my laptop and we have a wireless connection at the hotel nearby.
