Aspen - Log 26 Thursday 19 Dec; Heading for the Barn!



Ok, day 25 now and we are letting ourselves look ahead a wee bit. As I
said yesterday, Aspen is sensing something very special not too far
ahead of us.

The sea is rushing past Aspen's salt stained hull with even more
ferociousness than ever before. The ocean spray sparkles like diamonds
as it is flung high into the air when Aspen heels, quickly snaps back
and rushes headlong toward the distant western horizon.

Maria and I see nothing but the deep dark blue ocean with streaks of
white foam topping the endless waves. Yet hopefully soon, very soon, we
should see our beloved Caribbean once again. At least if the captain's
calculations are correct and that is not always the case he has been told :)

Aspen has seen so many wonders and fought so many battles since we first
purchased her from the Island Packet factory only a few short years ago,
or so it seems. We have used her as she was meant to be, out at sea,
carrying her precious cargo of two sailors safely around the world.

Aspen, be proud of yourself.

Sail on, sail on Aspen…

Steve and Maria
