Happy Birthday on the High Seas

It's good to be the birthday boy. Besides the birthday song that I received at 4am from Brian, John and Craig, Tamara sent a care package along for the occasion as well. The package included cupcakes, candles and shirts. The shirts were stenciled with the outline of a Hawaiian dancer complete with grass skirt and coconut bra! At 10am the crew donned their shirts and again I was treated to Happy Birthday in perfect harmony.

As most of you know, the wind is not cooperating with us. Our daily gains have been modest but crew morale is very high. Our morale is certainly tied to our full belly's. They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and boy do our wives know it. I want to thank Tamara, Dori, Liz, Doris and Marsha for the great treats that they packed for us.

Looking forward to a good breeze and seeing everyone after the finish.

-Chris

    Happy Birthday Chris,
    Hey Jim, Craig and Jeff, you guys look real cute in the tee shirts. Just think the real deal is approx 2100 nm.
    Collaboratively here at home we are wishing for wind for you guys. Hang in there.

    AND MANY MORE! According to Josh, we need Zeus (for weather/wind) and Poseidon (obviously the ocean) to wake up and get in the game. Here's hoping they are in agreeable moods.

    Loads of love
