Special Thanks to Friends and Supporters

We are cooking along with high winds and wild seas at just above 10N and just west of 122W. We have come over 1250nm from Zihua and closing on our first waypoint. So, I thought it would be good to give a big thank you to some of the people who have helped and supported us along the long way getting here, and not in any particular order of most or least or best help:

** Terry & Diane Emigh, and Bryan and the guys at Anacortes Marine Electronics
** John and Linda Gratton on S/V Nakia for help with the blog and just being there
** Dave and Debbie Lenartz on M/V Megabyte - tech help and good friends, fishing mentor, and jokester par excellence
** Buzz & Lynn Barrister in Anacortes
** Don & Pat Odegard in Anacortes
** Clark & Joanne Craig on Whitby Island
** Thomas Daoust at Fisheries
** Richard & Betsy on S/V Qayaq
** Paul & Marie on S/V Ranger
** John & Audrey on S/V Oz
** Chuck & Linda on S/V Jacaranda
** Susan & Bob Nettinga in Rancho Santa Fe
** Anacortes Yacht Club
** American Boat & Yacht Council (I just passed the recertification exam!)

****** and a Big, Big Special Thanks to North Harbor Diesel for hiring an unskilled yahoo and allowing him to learn about boats the hard way, and to get Maggie Drum ready for the passages to date and ahead. To Howard, Fred, Bob, Randy, Roy, Jim, Dave, Tammy, Terry, Jennifer, Sonny, Joe and the rest. What a great, totally functioning dysfunctional group of people who are the very best. I owe you a lot, especially Bob who had to show me the electrical ropes. No regrets guys.
