Nexus - Reflecting on how precious life is, while surfing the Columbia Basin



We're recovering from the alarming belated news we received yesterday, that last Friday, our son Scott and his friend Chelsea, slid off a Minnesota highway on black ice, rolled their SUV four times, and walked away from a totaled vehicle with only minor bruises. We're reflecting on the grace of God, that they're still with us, and redoubling our thanks to Him, and our determination to live every day appreciating how precious life is.

While deep in reflection last night, we were surfing along in moderate 3-4M waves with 30-34kt sustained winds and gusts over 40kt. We are only flying a single reefed head sail, but averaged 9-10Kts through the night with a peak surf of 19.9kts and many in the 16-19kt range. Beautiful moon all night and beautiful sunrise. WInd and seas are expected to ease through the day, and we're looking forward to re-organizing the hastily stashed flying objects around our salon. Decent progress toward San Blas, we're expecting landfall mid to late day tomorrow.

If you can, hug or call your kids... right now.
