Another great 24-hour run with our little bit of sail out. Our rig is still standing, so all is good here. Not much to report today. No traffic or fish. Just beautiful blue skies and vibrant blue ocean surround us.

If you would like to send us a belated Holiday card or greeting I believe Ron posted the Yacht Club's mailing address where we will be able to receive mail. Just make sure you add 'S/V Sandpiper, Yacht in transit' in the address. We will most likely be in Barbados at least a week. Hope to hear from you!
